We were excited to depart early in the morning for our most anticipated adventure, Actun Muchknal Cave! A short drive and hike through a jungle trail took us to the mouth of the cave where we entered the cool water to begin our cave exploration. Over the next few hours we swam, squeezed and climbed our way to the top of the cave. Since Pook's Hill is so close to this national treasure, our guide and the two of us were the only one's in the cave until our trip back out, which gave the experience even more impact. This breathtaking journey took us to the sacrificial chambers of the cave where ancient Mayans came to sacrifice belongings and lives to their gods. Broken ceramics, human remains, and soot from ancient fires fill these magnificent rooms and although photography is no longer allowed in the cave, for the sake of preservation, this is an experience we will never forget.
We returned to the lodge in the afternoon which gave us an opportunity to more fully explore the jungle trails offered by the lodge.

On top of all the dense and luscious scenery we saw some very impressive insects and birds. The most enjoyable insects to watch were the leaf cutter ants which had carves many ant-highways through the trail used to transport their precious cargo.
Jess was great. Our plans changed and we had to make some adjustments and she was super helpful. Finding us a cost-effective alternative to our original trip plan.

Erin was easy to work with and very helpful. She was patient and helped us figure out the adventure tour we were hoping for in Belize. Can’t wait to go on this trip!

I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

Jess was so helpful in talking me through some of the trip options I'd told her I was interested in, and then also bringing up similar alternatives with more flexible dates. Now that everything is booked I realize all the extra things she figured out for us as well, besides booking the transfers from and to each location, she realized that we wouldn't make it to my desired flight time on three departure date and was able to easily add another day so that even our departure day is stress free!
