Cave Tubing in Caves Branch

Cave Tubing in Caves Branch | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Caves Branch Adventure Company has some great pictures from their excursion through 7 miles of the underground.  When was the last time you went cave tubing?

 

"You will enter and exciting world of rivers that disappears into the underworld as you float in the darkness where only your headlamp and those of your fellow adventurers will light the way.  It sounds scary but it is not! It is exciting and fun – lots of screaming and echoes too!  Whenever you look around you will realize that you are swirling around stalagmites jutting from the river and stalactites looming from above.  There are also underground waterfalls and a crystal cathedral. This is a spiritual center to the ancient Maya."

Exploring ATM

Exploring ATM | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Another great article about Actun Tunichil Muknal.  The lack of cameras isn't stopping anyone from visiting Cayo's number 1 site.  There's a list in this article of cool things that one sees at ATM.  While Mayan artifactes aren't on the list, they're mentioned throughout the article.

 

Bats, stuck into holes in the ceiling made by guano destroying the limestone.

An albino crawfish.

Spiders! Like a big, nasty-looking female grey wolf spider.

A rock that looked like a croc. “Rockadile.”

Calcite crystals that made many some of the wall sparkle and glitter.

Stalactites.

Stalagmites.

Layers of rock that dripped or flowed like curtains.
