Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve - Located in the Cayo District of Belize, about 30-40 minutes from San Ignacio, the reserve covers an area of over 300 square miles. Here you will find a scenic combination of cool pine forests, tumbling streams, lush river valleys, caves and waterfalls. The most popular of the waterfalls is the Hidden Valley Falls, a spectacular fall that drops 1500 feet to the valley below. The Rio Frio Cave is the largest cave in Belize and the Rio On pools are a must for an afternoon swim before heading out of the reserve. The tour departs at 9:00 a.m. and returns at about 5:00 p.m.
Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave - "Cave of the crystal sepulcher" A very early morning departure is required as this tour is a long and challenging adventure - a good level of physical fitness is required and the ability to swim is a plus. We suggest you wear shorts and tee shirt with tennis shoes or hiking boots. You will also want to bring a change of dry clothes as you will surely get wet and need dry clothes for the trip back to the resort. The adventure entails hiking steep jungle trails and crossing a river in chest-high water. Once you reach the cave only the light from your headlight will guide you through the Mayan underworld. You will see burial chambers with intact calcified remains, Mayan artifacts and two slate stelae in front of which Maya elites cut themselves with obsidian blades to collect blood and offer it to the gods. Fourteen burials have been discovered so far. This is an adventure that continues to change from year to year as new discoveries are being made. You will return to the resort after dark with stories to tell and memories to last a lifetime.
Tikal - The largest and most spectacular of all the Mayan sites in Meso-America is located in the Peten area of Guatemala, deep in the high canopy jungle. Tikal is about 1 ½ hours from San Ignacio. The flora and fauna in this area is almost as breathtaking as the Mayan ruins themselves. The original city covered an area of 35 square miles and although the archaeologists have been excavating here since the 1930's, they tell us that there is at least another 100 years of work to be done. The tour departs at 7:00 a.m. and returns at about 5:00 p.m.
