Imagine a caving experience that holds more than just exploration, it would be one that includes cave tubing on underground rivers, going past waterfalls and rappelling down sheer drops. This perfect adrenalin adventure trip, which promises a rush like no other, can only be had in the beautiful setting of Belize. The lime rock matrix that makes up most of Belize’s landmass is riddled with caves beneath the surface and forms spectacular and extensive cave systems. Much of the country’s geological and cultural history is linked to caves. They were the sites of the ancient Mayan civilizations, sacred rituals. To the ancient Maya, caves were portals to the spirit world of demons and gods, Xibalba, "the place of fear." Full of mystery, polished stalactites and subterranean rivers they are indeed a photographers dreamland as is visible from these photographs. The photographer, Jad Davenport of these beautiful photographs is quoted to have said: The most surreal — and claustrophobic — aspect of caving is the sensation of moving through a medium, not over one, as on a forest trail. A living museum where the past can still be experienced in its historical and natural location. The caves of Belize are a definite must see!
