Glide past entrances from above, filtering mists of jungle light, as you float through underground river caves sparkling with mica-studded stalactites and stalagmites filled with 1,000-year-old pottery shards, statues of fertility gods and Mayan footprints. Your guide will escort you to the top of the caves explaining on the way all of the Fauna and Flora you encounter.

Optional: Canopy zipline/ repelling to the starting point of the cave tubing and get the best of both!!
