Jungle Biking and Cave Exploration
A 30 minute drive from Belize City along the Western Highway places you 
at the Foothills of the Maya Mountains. The village of Gracie Rock is the
hub of today's tour and here we give out helmets (locally supplied) and
select our mountain bike. The surrounding hills provide many trails of
varying slopes, which are combined with sections of unpaved narrow
roads, to offer a variety of challenges. Some of the trails were
originally used by mahogany cutters to the extract the logs that were
felled many years ago. Several of the trails provide access to cave
systems, where large Maya pots and vessels are located. The
rainforest through trails meander will supply a variety of flora and
fauna, and add to your experience. After pumping the pedals for two or
three hours, lunch and refreshments are provided back at our based
camp in the village of Gracie Rock.
