Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve is made up of an extensive network of limestone caves northwest of Belmopan City is super-popular for cave-tubing, kayaking and spelunking. The Caves Branch River flows through nine caves, providing ideal conditions for floating through on a inner tube or allowing for exploration of side passages that lead to other caves, such as the spectacular Crystal Cave.

The basic 1½-hour tour includes a jungle hiking and a gentle float through the caves, witnessing (with the help of your headlamp), schools of eyeless cave fish, stalactites and strange Maya paintings high on the cave ceilings. The cost includes life vest and helmet, and the tubes are linked together from time to time for safety reasons. Tours can be customized to explore further into the cave system – the ultimate full-day tour includes Crystal Cave.

The turnoff for Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve is at Mile 37 on the George Price Hwy, then it's 6 miles down a sealed road to the reserve entrance. The reserve has toilets, snack shops and numerous activities to offer.
