About Actun Tunichil Muknal - ATM Cave

Your journey begins with an early departure to ensure a serene and more private experience. A scenic 1-hour drive takes you through charming villages, lush citrus orchards, and hardwood farms, setting the stage for your adventure.

Upon arrival, prepare for a 45-minute hike through the pristine jungle, crossing rivers three times as you immerse yourself in the beauty of Belize’s wilderness. At the cave entrance, you’ll wade into crystal-clear waters, ready to explore one of the most fascinating cave systems in the world.

Inside the ATM Cave:
Spend 2 to 3 hours venturing deep into the cave’s passages, surrounded by awe-inspiring stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstones. As you navigate the chambers, your guide will share the captivating history and geology of the cave, including its significance in Maya rituals and ceremonies.

In the hidden dry chamber, you’ll encounter artifacts left behind by the Maya, including ceremonial pottery and tools, perfectly preserved as they were discovered by archaeologists. The tour culminates in a breathtaking scene featuring human skeletons and skulls over a thousand years old—a haunting reminder of the spiritual sacrifices made here.

End of the Adventure:
After exiting the cave, enjoy the 45-minute jungle hike back to the base, where a well-deserved, hearty three-course meal awaits. You’ll have time to change into fresh clothes, relax, and refuel in the heart of nature.

The journey concludes with a 1-hour and 20-minute scenic drive back to San Ignacio, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this incredible experience.
