Itinerary and highlights

Tour begins with a 10 minute ride to the trail head of the 60-90 minute jungle hike to the site of the Natural Sink Hole of Actun Loch Tunich- situated within the 50,000 acre private estate of Caves Branch Jungle Lodge.

Your team of expert guides will gear you up for the 300 ft descent into the sink hole where at the bottom you will enjoy a fun and tasty picnic styled lunch.

Hiking out of the sink hole is another amazing feat of endurance and intrigue- once that deserves an ice cold beer at the end of the day.
