Recognized as the ‘Premier sacred cave’ by National Geographic, this cavernous wonder was only brought into light in 1989. Since then, it swiftly gained reputation, securing its place as one of the world’s leading landmarks owing to its profound Mayan culture and legacy. Visitors can anticipate entering what is presently known as ‘The Upper Cavern’, a heightened section of the cave stretching over 300 yards and approximately 2 stories high. This section served as the central spot for ancient Mayan rites, which explains the presence of 4 human skulls, an abundance of clay vessels and stone tools, along with Mayan hieroglyphs that trace back to 700-900 A.D. This expedition suits those yearning for a challenge and a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is indeed a first-rate World Heritage Site.
