Are you ready to take the challenge? Are you ready to do something physically active? If you are, then, you will experience what real caving is about. A place where not much people are capable of going, Crystal Cave is also known as Mountain Cow Cave and is one of the largest cave system located at the Blue Hole National Park, along the Hummingbird Highway. Crystal Cave is considered a mystical Mayan Pantheon. The adventure starts with a hike through the lush tropical forest and a rugged limestone landscape. This cave system has huge caverns that are adorned with beautiful stalactites, stalagmites, flow stones, rock columns, crystalline formations and Mayan artifacts. Explorers will witness evidence of rituals of ceremonies that took place thousands of years ago which include potteries, fire pits, charcoal ash and human remains. At the end you will be amazed to walk inside a crystallized chamber called Wonder Land.

I loved this tour of Crystal Cave with Selwyn and Miguel! This trek was physically challenging, but worth it to see the beauty of the cave and the Mayan artifacts. Bouldering around the cave was hard, but the guides were so helpful in letting us know exactly where to step and when to get low for more stability. It was so cool to see the bits of ancient pottery just steps away from where we were climbing! For those who are considering this, there was very little sliding on your stomach, but lots of trying to keep your footing on slippery rocks. It was cooler in the cave than outside, but still humid enough to make me drip sweat. Hard work, but so rewarding! After leaving the cave, we went for a quick dip in a swimming hole, and then had a delicious lunch (rice and beans with chicken) and plenty of rum punch!

We did 3 tours with Belize Caving Expeditions with a discount. The First one was Crystal cave spelunking. Our tour guide Miguel who helped us navigate through the glittering cave was great. The second tour was zipline and cave tubing where we had Marlon as our guide. Marlon is another awesome guide who has a wealth of knowledge of cave and Mayan culture. Our third tour was ATM cave tour which was fun and adventurous. Gliss, our guide was great too. All in all, we had great experiences with Belize Caving Expeditions. Highly recommended.
