Undeniably, the Overnight Caving Expedition is the most exhilarating and daringly adventurous guided trip you can include in your Belizean adventure checklist!
Designed to encompass the acclaimed Black Hole Drop, this journey takes you completely out of your regular trails and permits you to set camp at the striking rim stone dam entry of the Actun Loch Tunich river cave system. The camp is pitched inside the entrance and dinner is served. The exploration continues towards the upper crystal chambers which were the sacred venues of the ancient Maya. The following morning, post a robust breakfast, you descend another 400 feet along cave cliff faces on paths of the ancient Maya to the Actun Loch Tunich underground river, extending over 24 kilometers of mapped corridors. Discover in the footsteps of the ancient Maya, past effervescing springs and an subterranean waterfall.
