Explore the undiscovered `` Witz B'alam Way ``

Belize is serious karst country and famous for its caves and caving. We have caves for all levels of visitors, from those with established trails to truly wild caves. There are caves which are easy to visit using canoes (no experience necessary) and true adventure caves like the famous ATM cave that requires swimming and then negotiating rapids inside the cave. There are also caves best visited by first taking a horseback ride. Others require ropes and harnesses to get into the entrance or down a steep passageway.

Many of our caves have beautiful formations. Cave life is interesting – our guides will help you understand it.

Caves were important to the ancient Mayans – and we can take you to see evidence of that. There are numerous caves with pottery and other artifacts and some caves where you can find human remains.

We have guides and arrangements for many different caves. Check with us and we’ll match you up with just the perfect caving experience for you.

ATM is an amazing cave with a large chamber filled with amazing formations and many artifacts and skeletal remains.
All day

Not every exciting cave has a road right up to it - or a short trail. We know some great caves that are best accessed by first climbing aboard a horse!
This is a big cave - in diameter! But you can see both entrances from the middle - it's like a giant tunnel. It ends up being the easiest first caving experience
St. Hermans Cave is found in St. Hermans Blue Hole National Park. This cave has a great jungle entrance - straight out of Indiana Jones.
This is a wilder cave - less frequently visited than the others on this list. It is unknown to most people - but available to Belize Nature Tours.
