Crystal Caves, Zip Lining & Xunantunich 3-in-1 Combo

This combo 3 in 1 tour package highlights three aspects of the Mayans Heavenly Cosmo: Air, Earth and Underworld. You can zip across the Mayans hunting ground looking at the forest below. Visit the Mayans ceremonial sites and also visit a place that they considered as the underworld. The tour starts at 5:30 am with a full breakfast at our dock before heading to the mainland. This journey will be filled with interesting facts about Belizean culture history and geology as you drive through savannas and quaint villages to reach your first destination for zip lining. There your skilled high angle guides will fit you with your harness and give you a safety briefing before you start your tour. A short winding trail through thick jungle will make you feel dwarfed as towering cohune palms take you to a limestone cliff that is your launching pad to your zip line adventure. Feel the rush as you fly 500ft across the jungle for a bird’s eye view of a cavernous opening to one of the Mayas ancient ceremonial caves and the start point of your next adventure. But this is just the beginning as your next traverse takes you to an unrivalled 700ft across the Jungle, so don’t forget to look down onto dense flora that used to be the Mayan hunting ground and source of almost all their everyday day needs. Throughout your adventure your guides will highlight some of trees and the bush and their purposes that these ancient people used to use and still use today. You will then head onto Xunantunich(pronounced /Shunantunich/) an Ancient Mayan archaeological site in western, about 80 miles (130 km) west of Belize City in the Cayo District. Xunantunich is located atop a ridge above the Mopan River, well within sight of the Guatemala border – which is a mere 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the west. It served as a Maya civic ceremonial center in the Late and Terminal Classic periods to the Belize Valley region, when the region was at its’ peak with nearly 200,000 people. Xunantunich’s name means "Stone Woman" in the Maya language and, like many names given to Maya archeological sites, it is a modern name; the ancient name is currently unknown. The "Stone Woman" refers to the ghost of a woman claimed by several people to inhabit the site, beginning in 1892. She is dressed completely in white, and has fire-red glowing eyes. She generally appears in front of "El Castillo", ascends the stone stairs, and disappears into a stone wall.
