belize+ caving -- belize and mayan and tours

The karstic limestone formations of the Maya Mountains of Western Belize are particularly suited to cave formation. It is well documented that the ancient Maya used the caves but there are many mystifying questions that have gone unanswered. Only recently has light been shed on the relationship between the Maya and caves.

 

Besides being intriguing for their use by the Maya, the caves are beautiful with huge stalactites, stalagmites and flows that glitter with crystal formations. Pictures of some of the caves of Belize are available by following the links to the right. We hope to keep adding more but please enjoy what we have.
