Jungle Biking & Caving Expedition

Traveler Type: Cruise Passenger
Activity Type: Biking on jungle trails and exploring caves. 
Skill Activity Level: Beginners to experienced but physically fit. 

TOUR DESCRIPTION:

A 30-minute drive from Belize City along the Western Highway places you at the foothills 
of the Maya Mountains.  The village of Gracie Rock is the hub of today's tour and here we 
don our helmets (locally supplied) and select our mountain bike.  The surrounding hills 
provide many trails of varying slopes, which are combined with sections of unpaved 
narrow roads, to offer a variety of challenges.  Some of the trails were originally used 
by mahogany cutters to extract the logs that were felled many years ago.  Several of 
the trails provide access to cave systems, where large Maya pots and vessels are located.  
The rainforest through which the trails meander will supply a variety of flora and fauna, and 
add to your experience.  After pumping the pedals for two or three hours, lunch and 
refreshments are provided back at our base camp in the village of Gracie Rock.  

In compliance with insurance requirements, Liability Waivers are required for this activity.
