Barton Creek Cave on 'most beautiful and unusual caves' list | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Barton Creek Cave is world famous, and canoeing through it is quite an experience.  It was just listed as one of the 9 most beautiful and unusual caves in the world.  Mother Nature Network is right to put it on their list.

 

"This cave was considered the 'underworld' by the ancient Mayans who inhabited the area and was used as a burial place.  Human remains can still be found inside the cave.  It is this unique history and Barton's amazing rock formations that make it one of the more interesting of all of Central America’s underground attractions.  Barton is located in the Cayo District, a region of Belize known for its eco-tourism."
