Zip Lining Since we have not figured out a way to grow feathers yet, a trip through the jungle on a zipline is a terrific way to get that fix.... more

Starts: 8:00AM Ends: 10:30AM
Itinerary
Getting There: The adventure begins at 8:00 AM with a pick-up at your hotel or in San Ignacio Town. We embark on our journey out of San Ignacio on an hour’s drive along the George Price Highway (paved road) until arriving at the junction of the Jaguar Paw Cave Tubing outpost. The drive into the site’s parking lot is another 12 minutes or so on the paved road. Upon arriving at the parking lot, your guide checks you in with the ranger.
At the Zip Line Course: From the parking lot it’s a short 5-minute walk to the gear station where skilled guides will brief you on safety procedures while fitting you with their own helmets, harnesses, and gloves. We then head out on a very short hike through the jungle to the starting point. The first line is a teaser to get you hyped up. There are 6 rounds in total, each lasting about 12 seconds and covering 40 – 300 feet of cable. The highest you will fly over the jungle is about 150 feet high. The two lengths take you soaring over the caves branch river in an exhilarating and scenic glide. The entire course lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of persons in your party.
Departure: After our zipline adventure, you’ll walk back to the parking lot where you’ll have a chance to change into your water shoes and swimwear for a refreshing cave-tubing adventure! At this point (depending on what time you’re done zip lining) you may feel free to have an early lunch before you go tubing. By the time you get to the floating starting point, the food in your stomach will have settled. Otherwise, you can have a late lunch when you return from tubing.
Duration: 45 – 60 Mins. (at the Zipline)
Difficulty level- Moderate
What to bring: Action Camera, light clothing, hiking shoes (no flip-flops).
Provided: Helmets, harness, gloves.
Cave Tubing

Starts: 11:00 AM Ends: 5:00 PM
Itinerary
Getting There:
The Cave Tubing site is at the same place as the zipline. After changing into your swimwear, you’ll walk over to the equipment booth to grab a tube & helmet with headlamps. You’re ready to start!
The Zipline course is situated within walking distance at the same park. After changing into your dry clothes and having concluded your tubing adventure, we sit down on the picnic tables under the trees for a delicious lunch (sited). After lunch, we take a little hike onto the zip line check-in station, (just long enough to get your stomach settled).
At the site:
Once you’re all geared up, you then embark on a 45 minutes’ hike across the clear turquoise Caves Branch River. At this crossing, there’s a rope across the river to assist you in crossing. The water is knees-deep, typically. After the river crossing, we start off along a jungle trail heading upstream alongside the river. Your guide will point out interesting aspects of the local flora &fauna as we trek through – a perfect time to take out your cameras (preferably waterproof).
Upon arrival at the designated starting point, your guide will brief you on the proper safety techniques for boarding & floating on your tube. If you’re adventurous, you’ll want to dive or splash into the water from a rock at the starting point. From here, your guide will set you afloat through a series of cavers that periodically open up to the sunshine & jungle. When the water current is strong, you’ll be tied up into a cluster (like a train) with ropes so as to avoid anyone straying away. Your guide will (depending on time availability) will lead you to the river bank inside the cave where you’ll unboard your tube and hike up to a hidden cavern where Ancient Maya Artifacts and beautiful natural formations can be seen.
After a bit of cave exploration through tight spaces, you’ll hop back onto your tube and continue the journey down the river through the rest of the caves with occasional beautiful scenic openings on the side. The journey continues until you make it back to the first river crossing and then back onto the parking lot. Here you can use the expansive restroom complex to change back into your dry clothes and shoes.
A quick lunch can be enjoyed on the picnic tables at the parking lot before heading back to San Ignacio.
Departing:
After a late lunch, you’ll board our vehicle and head back onto San Ignacio via the George Price Highway, arriving around 5:00 PM.
Duration: Approx. 5 hours (at Jaguar Paw Cave Tubing)
Difficulty level: Moderate
What to Bring: Water Shoes (no flip-flops or open-toe sandals), lightweight Shorts, Lightweight shirt, change of clothes, Sunscreen, Insect Repellant, Water, and Camera (must be waterproof).

Tour duration is approximately 3 hours. Bring along a change of clothes as you will be completely wet by the time the tour is over. Understanding why this cave was of such sacred importance to the Mayas requires an understanding of their spirituality. In the Maya religion, the gods of agriculture, rain, and fertility were believed to reside in the underworld. It would only seem natural that the ATM Cave, with its seemingly endless pits, would be seen as a potential gateway to the underworld. By making human sacrifices within the cave, they could appeal to these important gods practically at their front door.
Guests should dress as if preparing for a hike, bringing comfortable clothes and sturdy closed-toe shoes. Also, socks are mandatory for walking inside the cave. Bring along a towel and change of clothes (required) for a dry trip on your return transfer. Bear in mind that no cameras are allowed within the cave.

Actun Tunichil Muknal (the Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre), also known locally as ATM, is a cave in Belize, near San Ignacio, Cayo District, notable as a Maya archaeological site that ... moreincludes skeletons, ceramics, and stoneware. There are several areas of skeletal remains in the main chamber. The best-known is “The Crystal Maiden”, the skeleton of an adolescent (now thought to be a teenage boy), possibly a sacrifice victim, whose bones have been calcified to a sparkling, crystallized appearance. The ceramics at the site are significant partly because they are marked with “kill holes”, which indicate that they were used for ceremonial purposes. Many of the Maya artifacts and remains are completely calcified to the cave floor. One artifact, named the “Monkey Pot”, is one of just four of its type found in Central America. The Maya also modified cave formations here, in some instances to create altars for the offerings, in others to create silhouettes of faces and animals or to project a shadow image into the cave. The cave is extensively decorated with cave formations in the upper passages.
