The ancient Mayan ruin known as Caracol is about a one-hour drive from the property - we are one of the closest overnight accommodations, cutting out half of the drive time from San Ignacio. Other adventures include Rio Frio Cave, Rio On Pools, Barton Creek Cave, 1000 ft. Falls, ATM Cave, cave tubing, ziplining, horseback riding, mountain biking, as well as many other activities. As an added bonus, Big Rock Waterfall is within walking distance from the property (1 mile).
