Cave Dwelling: Spelunking, Rappelling and Tubing, oh my!

Brendan

Belize has the largest underground cave system in the world, some sections of which have collapsed, creating massive sinkholes. Rivers run through many of them, so the list of cool things you can do in them is pretty long—from simply exploring to jumping off underground waterfalls.

In the name of journalistic curiosity I went to rappel down one of these sinkholes, the 300 foot so-called Black Hole, with Cave’s Branch Jungle Lodge. Started and run by Canadian Ian Anderson, Cave’s Branch has everything from rooms in the jungle to suit various budgets, an orchid garden, and any adrenalin sport you can think of doing in and around a cave.
