Zip Lining + Tubing +Waterfall 30 minutes away From Palcencia
Just under a hour outside of Placencia Village, we’ll arrive at Mayan King. We’ll enjoy seven 7 zip Lines and a couple bridges, enjoying the views from as high as 400 feet into the tree tops. The longest line is 1300 feet. The lines crisscross over the river and valley below. This tour is easy for all ages. Children are welcome but may need to go tandem with another rider or guide. Then we’ll take a short hike down to the river. We’ll ride the river for about 45 minutes through mostly calm waters, with a few quick rapids along the way. For safety, life jackets and helmets are provided. We’ll also have two guides – one at the beginning and one at the end of our group – to help navigate the waters. Finally, we take a short drive to the waterfall – enjoy the pristine beauty and tranquil atmosphere of the natural waterfall. If you’re feeling adventurous, we’ll hike up to the second falls or you can relax by the pool (or even take a dip if you’re up to it!).

Private Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM Cave) tour
Classed as National Geographic's "Number one sacred cave in the world;" this cave was only discovered in 1989. However, it has quickly grew a name for itself as one of the top destinations in the world for its rich Mayan culture and heritage. You can look forward to entering what is now called "The Upper Cavern" which is an elevated area inside the cave, that opens more than 300 yards and is at least 2 stories high. This was the main area that was used during ancient Mayan rituals; hence the reason you can look forward to seeing 4 skeletal remains, countless pottery and stone tools and even Mayan hieroglyphs which date back to 700-900 A.D. This excursion is for persons who aren't afraid of a challenge and would like to experience a once in a lifetime experience. Truly a top class World Heritage Site.

Xunantunich Mayan Ruins and Inland Blue Hole National Park
The Xunantunich Archaeological Site and the Blue Hole National Park are two fantastic places where you may spend a day filled with adventure, Maya archaeology, and nature. Xunantunich is a Maya city that existed in the classic period from 200-900 A.D. and reached an occupation of approximately 10,000 people. This site is very close to the border with Guatemala and when you climb to the top of the largest building of the site you will be able to observe from the heights all of Xunantunich and see the Guatemalan territory in the distance. We will continue to the Blue Hole National Park after exploring this wonderful city. It is important to distinguish this tourist destination from the Belizean Caribbean's Great Blue Hole. It is a location that will leave you dumbfounded in either case. You can go trekking, unwind in the great outdoors, or cool off in its alluring natural cenote with its brilliant blue water. This is an adventure you simply must not miss.
