Caving

Belize is an ideal location for the formation of caves. With abundant limestone and a wet climate, caves abound in many places throughout Belize.

Caving is a dangerous sport, and it is adviseable to check with the locals before exploring any caves on your own. Because of the isolation of many caves, they have not been thoroughly explored.

In fact, many caves are closed to public exploration because:

most have archaeological significance

many caves systems are subject to sudden flooding

few maps exists

Having said all that, there are a number of caves that are safe and easy to visit. These include:

Che Chem Ha - Cayo

Rio Frio - Mountain Pine Ridge

St. Herman's - Hummingbird Highway

Barton Creek Cave - Cayo

Blue Creek - Toledo

Ben Loman's - Manatee Lagoon

Actun Tunichil Muknal - Cayo
