Six other zip runs range in length from 200' to 600' between treetop platforms secured in the canopy of tropical hardwood trees. Intriguing karst limestone cliffs provide a scenic backdrop as you zip through the rainforest canopy. It is fully insured and also certified by Challenge Course Technologies (ACCT). Your Cave Tubing adventures starts with a jungle trail hike where your guide will point out various plants, roots, and herbs once used by the ancient Maya. The entrance tunnel that heads into the underground cave system is the start of an 'eye opening' adventure. Your guide hands out head-lamps, and you are ready to float in inflated inner tubes assisted by gentle currents taking you through the cave system. Intricate crystalline formations line the caves and stalagmites and stalactites add to the serene opulence of nature. After such an invigorating morning, select your lunch from a wide range of buffet items from the 'Canopy Cafe'. Afterwards, we'll head to San Ignacio and overnight at your chosen hotel.

Attention spelunkers! Today is your day as a tour of Actun Tunichil Muknal, (Cave of the Stone Sepulcher) is on the agenda. Locally referred as the "ATM cave", it's a hiking and adventure experience* with the added dimension of being an educational trip for those interested in archaeology. Additionally it's ranked as one of the "Top Ten Caves Of The World" by the National Geographic Society. Located in the heart of the Belize rainforest, this cave was a sacred place to the prehistoric Maya of Belize, who first began to use the entrance during the early classic period (300-600 A.D.). Later the Mayas traveled deeper into the cave to conduct their ceremonies. Visitors to the cave have the unique opportunity to witness a living museum where the human sacrifices and artifacts can be viewed in their original context.
