The adventure…
This incredible adventure starts with a challenging 40-minute hike through our onsite jungle. You will walk the actual steps that Mayan Shaman walked as they entered Xibalba.
The Mayan priests turned hidden caves into centers of spiritual rites and sacrificial offerings. Enter now, if you dare, the world which was believed to be the entrance to the underworld…the Realm…the Domain…The Kingdom of their God… XIBALBA.
Feel the presence of the ancient Gods as you explore spectacular and awe-filled crystal chambers that hold 2,000-year-old ceremonial fire pits, still containing charcoal and ash, pottery, bowls, relics, altars, wall carvings, glyph writings, and actual skeletons of sacrificial victims still lying among the ruins of this cave.
Our guides will show you the relics with care and precision to preserve the integrity of this sacred spot in the rainforest. While you respectfully tiptoe through the ruins, you will be carried back in time to when this ancient religion was the dominating life force.
Lunch will be served in a giant sinkhole where your guides will prepare a picnic spread complete with picnic blanket, tortillas with cold cuts, juice, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
As you explore the sinkhole (and take some great pictures), you will be in awe of the immensity and beauty of this natural phenomenon that was created thousands of years ago.
After making your way out of the cave and hiking back to the lodge, you can enjoy some well-deserved rest in the pool or hot tub before dinner where you can swap stories about the day’s
Our tours are best experienced as part of an all-inclusive package
but can also be booked individually.
“The Lost World Cave is a MUST for anyone who is physically fit and can stand to get dirty. We saw amazing Mayan pottery, skeletal remains from human sacrifices, amazing natural sink holes, etc. Trust me – if you are somewhat fit and can squeeze through a few tight openings I highly suggest this outing.”
