You depart civilization aboard your air-conditioned bus; buildings become sparse and the scenery changes as your 75min. journey takes you from the tame to the wild.  You know you are getting close when your bus turns onto a bumpy dirt road.  You will soon arrive at Big Hill Station for a quick rest stop, then within a few minutes you are at the jungle base-camp where you are transformed into the ultimate explorer, you will be geared-up with helmet, light, gloves and harness and given a safety briefing.  You then begin your hike into the dense jungle, as you seek the Dragons Mouth…Enter Xibalba, (Maya word for hell).  Your highly-trained guides (and headlamps) lead you through a maze of multi-chambered caves filled with magnificent formations, geological wonders and Mayan ceremonial history.  Your imagination runs wild as your light hits rocks and you try to decode images that unfold before your very eyes.  Feel a sense of awe as you crawl through small openings that reveal hollowed ceremonial chambers, hiding Mayan artifacts used in their ancient rituals centuries ago.  Connect your safety line as you explore the upper layers of your subterranean abyss before rappelling 20ft down a rock face, upon landing you re-enter the cave and continue your quest.  Learn about this amazing hidden world, and its formation from your knowledgeable guides as you climb over rock, trek through underground waterholes (waterholes during rainy season) and navigate narrow passages.  A 300ft. Traverse (zip-line) takes you over the jungle floor and from the exit of one cave, into the mouth of yet another ceremonial cave,  filled with protruding stalactites and stalagmites, accessible only by this jungle/cave  zip-line.  Test your skill as you navigate your way through a network of pillars on swinging rope bridges, before propelling out of the mouth of the cave on an inclined traverse, down to a jungle trail for a short hike back to your bus.

Exhilarated, amazed and almost lost for words, you head back to Big Hill Station having worked up an appetite for the delicious jungle barbeque that waits you.  Purchase your photos and pick-up a souvenir before heading back to the ship with memories to last you a lifetime.
