I loved this tour of Crystal Cave with Selwyn and Miguel! This trek was physically challenging, but worth it to see the beauty of the cave and the Mayan artifacts. Bouldering around the cave was hard, but the guides were so helpful in letting us know exactly where to step and when to get low for more stability. It was so cool to see the bits of ancient pottery just steps away from where we were climbing! For those who are considering this, there was very little sliding on your stomach, but lots of trying to keep your footing on slippery rocks. It was cooler in the cave than outside, but still humid enough to make me drip sweat. Hard work, but so rewarding!
After leaving the cave, we went for a quick dip in a swimming hole, and then had a delicious lunch (rice and beans with chicken) and plenty of rum punch!
