Journey through the underworld. For the Mayas, the caves were sacred and they believe every human had to take a journey through the underworld. The Mayas used the caves to do ceremonies, offerings, and rituals. Some traditional ceremonies involved corn and chocolate.
Caves reveal a unique characteristic of the Mayan Past. Step back in time in one of these chambers located within the vast, tropical rainforest. Put on your helmet, switch on your headlamp, and just relax as you go on sacred grounds. Deep into the ancient world, as you pass the stalagmites and pottery, you will even feel a trickle of water as you go by the beautiful cave.
