Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve
Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve is made up of an extensive network of limestone cave systems north of Belmopan City is super-popular for Nohoch Che'en cave tubing and Nohoch Che'en zipline. The Caves Branch River flows through nineteen caves, providing the ideal conditions for tubing through on a inner tube or allowing for exploration of side passages that leads to other cave systems, such as the spectacular Crystal Cave.
The basic 1½-hour tour cave tubing 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 Nohoch Che'en Cave Tubing, Zipline, and Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. We have put together some of the most exciting Belize private tours to give you a full day of fun adventure.

Donald G. Ramirez
Founder
Donald G. Ramirez was born in the southern Town of Dangriga and his family moved to the north of Belize to a farming Village near the northern border with Mexico. Donald grew up on a farm with his grand parents. Due to financial constrains his grand parents were unable to finance high school for him. Donald insisted that he will not work on a farm for the rest of his life. He wanted to some thing different. June of 1987 Donald moved to Belize City to do high school. Donald was fortunate to find a job that allowed him to work from 4:00 pm to 10:00 with a local bus company.
At the time when moved to Belize City, Belize was getting a large influx of deportees from the U.S. that brought the Crips and Bloods influence with them. The rivalry was very bad and bloody at the time. Donald was living in a Bloods territory. Donald was not in a position to move from the Bloods area because of financial constrains. Donald was forced to stay in that area until he graduated from high school because he was not able to move to a safer area within Belize City.
After Donald graduated from high school he was unable to find a better job because he was still a minor. Donald move to Caye Caulker where he was employed as a waiter. When he turned 18 he joined to Belize Police Force. Donald was angry because the gangs put him and innocent people at risk every day and he wanted to help make a change. AND HE DID HIS PART!
Gang members were imprisoned and some rehabilitated. Donald then left the Police Force and did Social Work before he started this company. When asked about his teen age years, Donald would normally say: "It was a Mean and Dangerous Adventure! And I know Jesus loves me. That's why I survived" This is how the company got its name.
Donald Ramirez specializes in Belize Indian History and speak 4 languages. Donald also speak the Garifuna language, which is one of the oldest languages in Central America.
