Black Hole Drop Cave Rappelling- San Pedro<\/h3>\n

Imagine lowering yourself slowly into a seemingly black abyss. As you descend, the trees vanish, the air cools and the light grows dim. What once looked like a black hole with no end in site is now clearly the forest floor.<\/p>\n

At the\u00a0Black Hole Drop<\/strong>, you don\u2019t have to imagine. Known as the mother of all\u00a0caves<\/a>, the\u00a0Actun Loch Tunich\u00a0<\/strong>sinkhole formed long ago as the weak limestone underneath the rainforest gave way to geological changes that caused the collapse. Though it looks pitch black from the starting point, there\u2019s enough light that filters in to make sure you see every foot of your descent.<\/p>\n

This adventure is for the physically fit due to the fact that getting there requires a 45 minute long hike up through the\u00a0Maya<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Mountains until you reach the edge of the sinkhole. Once there, you\u2019ll take a short break and then begin suiting up into full safety gear. As soon as your harness is secure, you\u2019ll begin your slow descent. By 200 feet down, you\u2019ll have reached the\u00a0canopy<\/a>. From there, it\u2019s only another 100 feet until you reach the forest floor. After another rest, all that remains is a hike out of the foothills and a short journey to your\u00a0hotel<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
