Chukka Caribbean Adventures is looking for adventure-seekers to star in their newest nature production, the "Raiders of the Lost Mayan Caves" excursion at their Bakabush Outpost in Belize.  According to Chukka Cove, this experience isn't for the faint of heart as there are thrills and chills that will have guests reaching for a fedora when it's all over. 

Chukka Caribbean Adventures transports its daring vacationers into the Belizean jungle where they become the ultimate explorers. Their journey begins with a jungle hike to the "Dragons Mouth" cave entrance leading to Xilbalba, what Mayans called the underworld. Magnificent formations,
geological wonders and relics of Mayan ceremonial history await them in the caves below. Once inside, darkness rules and experienced Chukka guides lead the way, sometimes crawling, through a maze of multi-chambered caves.

After exploring these upper layers, the expedition continues with a challenging 20-foot rappel down a rock face leading to a hidden world of underground waterholes and passages. The final cave is only accessible via a 300-foot zip-line traverse that flies explorers over the jungle floor
from one cave into the mouth of another. To reach the end of the cave labyrinth, guests have to navigate their way through a network of pillars on swinging rope bridges, before propelling out of the cave mouth on an inclined zip-line traverse. But the journey isn't over just yet -- there is
still a short hike back to waiting transportation and a stop at Big Hill Station for a Belizean Bush Barbeque lunch.

Equipment provided for this tour includes a helmet, light, gloves and harness. Long pants and long sleeve shirts are advised, hiking shoes or sneakers should be worn, open-toe shoes are prohibited. A change of clothes is optional -- guests should expect to get good and dirty, and during rainy
season there is a short walk through an underground pool, so shoes and pants definitely get wet. 

Chukka Cove, last year, won an award for the "Caribbean's Leading Nature Adventure Excursion
Operator" 2007 World Travel Award.
