Summary: We took a small ride to the edge of the forest from the Caves Branch resort. we did a hard uphill trek for an hour to the top of the drop. Alex our guide was fantastic and told us lots about the forest and history. The abseiling set up was extremely safe and the descent was just stunning like being lowered into a lost world. We were a small group of 4 so we had time to scramble around the cave and see Mayan writing and some broken pots. we had a very tasty lunch spread out like a picnic in the cave. a ladder led us up then we picked up the same trail back. it was a very special and exhilarating trip.

Summary: This was an amazing experience....the hike itself was gorgeous. After watching the jungle from the car and then being able to hike through that beautiful lushness was incredible. The Rappelling was adrenaline pumping and beautiful and we all felt very awesome! We had a friend group of 5 and our guides, including Ivan & Justo were amazing.
