Earlier this year I had an opportunity to visit a place I had never heard of to partake in an adventure of the Indiana Jones variety. Among other things, I spent four days in the heart of the Belizean jungle with only a guide, a pack full of water, and a machete. But I’m getting a bit ahead of myself here. This entire crazy adventure started at a small lodge called Ian Anderson’s Caves Branch in the jungles of Belize. Ian Anderson is a Canadian ex-pat who visited Belize, fell in love, and opened his own adventure company there. I mean, why not, right?
If you’re looking for high adventure in an exotic location, and don’t mind getting your hands dirty, continue on to read my full review of the facilities and adventures that Caves Branch offers. I’ll also provide a ton of pictures, and a bunch of seemingly random but hopefully useful anecdotes about my experiences at Caves Branch.
