    Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve

    Learn about the local flora and fauna throughout a 30 minute hike along the rivers’ edge as we make our way to the entrance of the Jaguar Paw Cave. This natural wonder was carved out of the limestone foothills of the Maya Mountains by the river that runs through it and forms part of the largest cave system in all of Central America. Archaeological research notes that the ancient Maya visited the site to conduct important rituals. Once at the entrance we strap on our headlights and life vests and off we go. You are propelled by the gentle currents as your guide educates you about the natural formations found inside the cave. Making our way out of the first cave, the second portion becomes more exciting as the water flows faster. Kick back, relax and enjoy the ride! This is an amazing adventure and one you will always remember.
