Guides gave us an amazing presentation on natural history/geology/first-hand archaeology of the Maya. We noticed that other tour groups were passing us on the trails & in the cave, but our group was in no rush. Well worth the money!

OUR HISTORY
In 1973, Nazim Juan, and his wife, son and daughter, first became involved in tourism, as a side business to their family restaurant, when he started a small tour office called Jaguar Tours. At the time, tourism was scarce, but Nazim saw the great potential of his hometown of San Ignacio. Because of his involvement in pushing the tourism sector in the Cayo District by promoting the area’s culture and history, the government appointed Mr. Juan as the first Director of the Belize Tourism Board for Cayo. Mr. Juan represented the country at trade shows around the world including the United States and Europe. Mr Juan is multilingual so he was able to achieve good results in promoting tourism in Belize, especially in Italy. He worked closely with BTB between 1984 and 1990, at which time his son became one of the first licensed cave guides in the country. Mr. Juan and his co-workers made a lot of positive changes in the tourism sector and shaped how visitors experience adventure in Belize in an exciting and safe manner.
In 1997, our family expanded the business and started MayaWalk Tours, with Aaron Juan as the company’s main guide. We specialized in caving, but more specifically we focused on the ATM cave. To this day, MayaWalk is one of the only Belizean-owned, family run companies.  We assist and support some of the needs of our people such as helping with the elderly and the San Ignacio orphanage.  We are very concerned about the environment, especially with the recycling of water bottles and refilling of water. Aaron’s popularity has spread tremendously on TripAdvisor and among academics looking to learn more about the cave systems of Belize.
