Toledo (district) city tours

  • Swim into Blue Cave with nothing but a headlamp and tour guide. Find yourself sitting underneath an underground water fall deep into a cave system with the lights out. Gain a new respect for flashlights.
  • Walk the "Mayan Basket Gauntlet" at Lubaantun to see some great isolated ruins.
  • Watch the sun set from El Pescador and stop by Hickatee's for some great meals. Conch chow mien highly recommend when available.
