Xibalba is a location in Belize which translates to “place of fear.” The Mayans believed that this cave was the entrance to the underworld, and was ruled by the Mayan gods of death.
The cave itself is a place of geological beauty. Dark caves filled with water. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are present everywhere. Inside the cave, there are all kinds of stalagtites and stalagmites, as well as great examples, of how the water has helped shape the inside of the cave over the years. It is a hot tourist location and is still closely associated with death and the Mayan legends.
