Full-Day Tour to the ATM Cave: A Sacred Cave for Ancient Mayas

Full-Day Tour to the ATM Cave: A Sacred Cave for Ancient Mayas

The ATM Cave, or Actun Tunichil Muknal, is an incredible natural wonder located in the heart of Belize. It is an underground cave system that was once used by the ancient Maya as a ceremonial site, and it is filled with stunning geological formations and ancient artifacts. As you make your way into the cave, you'll be awed by the towering stalagmites and stalactites that line the walls and ceiling. You'll also have the opportunity to see some of the ancient Maya artifacts that have been left behind, including pottery, stone tools, and even the remains of human sacrifices. But the real highlight of the tour is the "Crystal Maiden," a beautifully preserved human skeleton that was left as a sacrifice to the Maya gods. Overall, the ATM Cave tour is an exciting and unforgettable adventure that is not to be missed. Whether you're an avid hiker, a history buff, or simply someone who loves to explore the great outdoors, this tour has something for everyone.

Great ATM cave experience
My husband and I wholeheartedly enjoyed our ATM cave adventure. It can seem intimidating at times but the guides were so helpful and made sure we were always safe. We were picked up on time and the lunch was delicious. We highly recommend this tour.

Great experience in must-do tour!
It was a very nice tour. The hike through the jungle (and river) is nice and not hard at all. Spelunking and swimming into the cave is a great experience, the Mayan stories really came to life because of the great way Eric guided us. As every tour in Belize seems quite expensive, so is this one. But without a doubt, it is a must-do tour for this area. Mayan Walk Tours and especially guide Eric do an excellent (and safe!) job.

Playful + Educational
This is an adventure unlike any other! There is a playful element to it with climbing and swimming through the cave combined with the educational piece. Prepare to get wet and have a good time!

Best experience ever!
The cave was spiritual, the crystal clear water flowing through the cathedral like caverns was awe inspiring, and our guide, Patrick, was the perfect choice for this Indiana Jones/ archeological tour experience.
