Your adventure for the day takes you deep into the jungles of Meso-America. An hour’s easy drive west from Belize City brings us to the Sibun Caves Branch cave tubing site – with modern bathrooms, secure parking, excellent jungle restaurant, and handicraft shops, the hub for your Belize Cave Tubing adventure.
On arrival you head to the bathrooms to change and then its off to gear up. Here while adorning your life vests and helmets with headlamps your guide will give you a brief orientation to safety and cave tubing, he will do this again in more detail at the entrance to the water.
The Belize cave tubing part of the tour is now officially underway. An invigorating forty five minute hike through well constructed jungle trails takes visitors deep into the heart of the Belizean wilderness to experience all the unique sights and smells of the rainforest ranging from the shrill squawks of nesting parrots to the rare glimpse of a gibnut, fox, or deer amidst the lush undergrowth. A number of mysterious dry cave formations will also be encountered along the way to where the trail meets a gaping cave mouth engulfing the shallow jade tinted waters of the Sibun River. It is now time to enter the intriguing underworld of one of Belize’s most complex river cave systems; sit back and relax as the gentle currents casually glide the flotation tubes through a series of shadowy caves where mysterious shapes traverse every angle and the crisp chilly air and earthy aroma create a prevailing mood of isolation and relaxation. After forty five minutes, the tubes exit the cave system and embark on a leisurely thirty minute journey through the heart of the rainforest where colorful vegetation, an array of tropical birds, and other native wildlife including various species of primates and small critters dominate the sloping riverbanks.
After your cave tubing tour, we head back to the bathroom facilities, dry off and change into dry clothes. We re-board your transportation and head to Altun Ha Maya Ruins.
An hour drive east from Jaguar Paw, along quaint country roads, secondary rain-forest, Creole villages and isolated farms, rises the majestic beauty of the Maya ceremonial center called Altun Ha (rock stone water). Royal priests ruled this site for many centuries, and traded with other Mayan centers in Meso America. Some 30 years ago, Dr. David Pendergast of the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada, along with his excavation team, discovered a tomb of a priest in the Temple of the Masonry Altars, and in it, a nine and three quarter pound jade carving of the Sun God, Kinich Ahau – a world famous event! Climb prepared stone steps to the stars! Surround yourself with the aura of these ancient stargazers living in the rain-forests of Belize. After a delicious Belizean lunch, and your time travel experience of the Maya Civilization, move back to Belize City, old British colonial capital of Belize, and enjoy your city tour, highlighting a blend of Caribbean, Central American and colonial architecture; then return to the start point, your hotel, AirBnB, water taxi or municipal airstrip.
