ASK ME ABOUT BEING A SHITTY POSTER
Has anyone here done any cave exploration in Central America? What if anything can you share about it?

I'm a novice in terms of caving, having done a few guided explorations in the Northeast, but from what little I've read Guatemala and Belize have some amazing cave complexes. Waterfalls, Mayan burial/ritual sites, sounds like there's a ton to see.

In general, even if the verdict is that the support on cave exploration in Central America is not good for someone who's not an experienced caver, what suggestions do you have for experiencing the ruins? I'm planning a ~2 week trip, probably in Feb/March and have always been fascinated by the Maya. I enjoy more of your "off the beaten path" type of stuff than sitting in a bus being shuttled to and from resort to ruin. Not that AC isn't nice.

So I'm going to be in Guatemala from the 14th of Dec till ~21. Staying in Tikal till the 16th. Is it worth the time to make it down to Guatemala City? Looks like a pretty long bus ride. Alternately, what should I check out in Flores if I decide to stay up the in the northern area?
