Ever wondered what it would be like to have the wind buzzing in your ear, as you travel to a remote and forgotten corner of the Belizean jungle? Travel back in time as we take you through a cave untouched since the Maya last laid eyes on it a million years ago.

An hour and a half from San Ignacio, in the heart of the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve, owned and managed by the Belize Audubon Society,are some of the most telling suites. On the 45 minute trek through the jungle, you may see some of the most precious natural riches for which Belize is famous for.

Daring not to stumble so that their torches would not get wet or even be extinguished; fearing that the spirits of the darkness would they dared themselves deeper and deeper into the realms of Xibalba, the Maya underworld, to ask their Gods for help.

With every step the fear growing more and more, but they must carry out the ceremony. Come with us and discover where their footsteps trod over a thousand years ago.

Actun Tunichil Muknal, the bejweled cave of Belize, displays some of the most spectacular limestone dripstone formations, many glistening with spectacular calcite.

Aside from the geological wonders are the numerous relics of the Ancient Maya Culture. These were ritually deposited in caves, to beckon rains and overcome long periods of drought.

Over 200 ceramic vessels litter the chamber of Tunichil Cave. The meshing of cultural history and geology forms an unrivalled natural museum, a gallery like one never seen before.

You will need to bring a pair of socks as it is necessary during some sections of the tour to take off your shoes. Footwear for the tour is either tennis shoes or hiking boots. Lunch and water is provided for the duration of the tour.
