Maya
Temple
Caves
Branch Cave is one of several subterranean sites that were carved out of
the limestone foothills of the Maya Mountains by the very active Caves Branch
River. The site provides an excellent example of the erosive power of water,
and the natural wonders of Belize. In fact, the
cave took several hundred thousand years to form and was used by the ancient
Maya as a ritual place. Today's modern visitor can enjoy watching awesome
geological features of the site, and ponder the nature of prehistoric human
utilization.
