Take this tour into depths of the mysterious and enchanting Barton Creek Cave. Barton Creek flows through the cave, allowing you to paddle through its interior. This tour also introduces you to some interesting archeological remains.
As you paddle, your guide will point out Maya artifacts, including ceremonial pottery. This complex cave system was considered sacred by the Maya, which is why you’ll also see the bones of sacrifice victims. In Maya lore, caves served as entrances to the underworld, which is why they served as burial grounds.
This cave complex is fairly massive, and the chambers have extremely high ceilings. Besides the history of the Maya, your guide can also share some interesting details about the cave’s natural history. It’s surrounded by jungle growth, making the trip to the cave scenic as well.
