MAYAN RUINS
The Mayans are the oldest classical civilizations of Meso-America
and remain a prominent part of Belize’s culture in terms of archaeology,
food, and farming. Originating in the Yucatan around 2600 B.C.,
the Mayan civilization rose to prominence around 250 A.D.
Belize was believed to be at the hub of the Mayan Empire and
thus presents a unique look into that time period.
These ancient Mayan civilizations are famous for building elaborate
and highly decorated ceremonial structures, including temples for
worship, palaces, and observatories. Today, a few of these historical Mayan temples are still some of the tallest structures in Belize!
The most popular Mayan Ruins are Lamanai, Xunantunich, Chal Pech, Caracol, Altun Ha.
CAVE TUBING & ZIP LINING
There are so many fun things to do in Belize, but cave tubing is one of the most popular Belize tourist attractions. Who wouldn’t want to sit in an inner tube and float through some Belize caves?
The Maya believed that rivers were the route to the underworld or
Xibalba. For them, the underworld was more like a hidden realm
than a “hell.” Cenotes and rivers could provide access to the great
network of rivers beneath the surface where their gods lived.
There were celestial gods, too, but these were accessed differently.
They made offerings and sacrifices in many of the caves in the region.
They weren’t limestone tubing, of course, they would walk/wade/swim
into the caves. As a severe drought persisted, they made
more and more sacrifices in a desperate attempt to encourage the gods to make it rain. In a lot of the caves, especially the ATM cave, you can see the bones of the sacrifice victims.
Adventure through the mysterious darkness of the Mayan underworld as you cave tube through Belize rivers and zip-line through the jungle.
There are a lot of caves in Belize
(and the whole Yucatan Peninsula) thanks to the
karst landscape of abundant limestone.
You can explore Belize’s caves on foot, in canoes,
half-swimming, and by horseback.
HORSEBACK RIDING
Horseback riding allows you to discover and explore nature with a sense of timeless freedom and exhilaration. Our experienced guides will take you on a relaxed horseback ride to local citrus orchards, into the rainforest, and through small creeks and rivers. The magnificent beauty and skill of the rehabilitated horses enables riders of all ages and experience levels to have fun and enjoy nature.
You can combine a Mayan Ruin with cave tubing and/or Zip Lining combo. Or you can just do cave tubing with a zip lining excursion. We have a lot of combinations for daily mainland tours that you can choose from.
