Barton Creek Cave Canoeing
Barton Creek Cave is known to be one of the most enchanting and fascinating wet caves in Belize. It involves gently paddling a two-man canoe across the cave’s still water, guided only by headlamps that light up the intricate stalactites and stalagmites that make up the limestone walls.
It is one of the few wet caves in Belize where exploring doesn’t require swimming or tubing. Please note that it is part of a large river system, whereby the natural process of the cave allows its visitors to go in for about one kilometer only.
As you glide your canoe deeper into the cave, an expert guide keeps explaining that the main purpose of the cave was for ritual ceremonies, where fragmented pottery and human remains are the major pieces of evidence.
An adventurous day to this unique attraction is hard to forget, wonderful to discover and significant to experience.
