Cave tubing is a very popular activity in Belize. The Caves Branch River and it's winding path through the Maya mountain and numerous ancient caves once inhabited by the maya, is a popular sight to go caving. Interestingly the Caves Branch River system is near Belmopan and includes a series of caves and underground river, offering lengthy tube rides over gentle currents that lead you through the cave system.

The cave located at Jaguar Paw is one hour drive out of Belize City, into the country side. Once you arrive you will be led by an experienced tour guide while hiking through the jungle for half hour with your tube in hand and a flash light on your head. You will learn how ancient Mayas considered the caves to be a super natural realm, home of ancestors, invisible world of the gods, and all about a place called Xibalba. The easy part after hiking will be relaxing, while floating through the cave system, one leading into another, viewing the sight as you pass in and out of the area from pitch black to sun light, and enjoying the blue water carrying you on this unbelievable journey down stream. After two hours of tubing, you will work up a delicious bar.b.q.chicken.
