Tour Itinerary
We depart the Lodge after breakfast and make our way north and onto the Hummingbird Highway. Our drive up this scenic roadway drive takes us through a major citrus growing area and small Mayan villages, and to an area known locally as 'Caves branch', it has many limestone caves, some of which contain Mayan pottery and evidence of their ceremonies.
At the Blue Hole National Park you sign in at the Ranger Station and make your way up the path to the entrance of St. Herman's Cave.
The cave gradually descends into the earth and there are trails which lead you deep inside the cave. Look out for bats and cave formations as you journey deep into the earth. Your guide will lead you ever deeper in this fascinating cave and will bring you out of the cave through another opening almost a mile from where you entered.
We then begin our hike along well maintained paths to the Blue Hole, which is a sinkhole or cenote fed by an underground stream and in its crystal clear blue waters you will find an ideal place to take a cooling swim. The water enters the pool from a cave, forms a small river and then disappears underground again.
Take all the time you like to enjoy the refreshing waters and peaceful environment, knowing that you have the scenic drive back down the Hummingbird Highway to look forward to!
