Are you ready to take on the challenge? Are you prepared to do something out of your comfort zone? A place where only the adventurous at heart decide to venture; Crystal Cave also known as Mountain Cow allows you to experience what real caving is about.
Crystal Cave is the entrance to the mystical and most sacred area in the Maya Pantheon. This adventure starts with a rigorous hike through the lush tropical forest and a rugged limestone landscape. Crystal Cave is one of the largest cave systems in Belize located within the Blue Hole National Park. This cave system has huge caverns that are adorned with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites, flowstones, rock columns, crystalline formations, and Mayan artifacts. As we explore the cave, we witness evidence of rituals and ceremonies that took place over a thousand years ago like potteries, beads, obsidian blades, fire pits, charcoal ash, and evidence of human remains calcified in the limestone floor. Each step you take goes back further in time to when Shamans and Priest journeyed into the portal to the underworld which they called Xibalba.
