Itinerary

  1. Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM)

    4 hours Admission included

    • Located a short drive from our office in southern Belize, the tour begins with a drive to the ranger post in the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve.
    • From there, proceed on foot, hiking through the jungle for approximately 45 minutes, crossing three jungle streams along the way with your Belizean tour guide.
    • Once at the mouth of the Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave, swim across a spring-fed pool, using a rope for guidance.
    • And then the adventure truly begins, wading through the knee-high water until a network of vast tunnels, chambers, and passageways is reached.
    • Only after climbing up and into a remote ledge deep in the rear of the cave will you reach the sacred chamber once used by Mayan priests.
    • The ceremonial chamber still contains pottery, obsidian objects, bowls that once contained food offerings, and the famous skeleton of the Crystal Maiden. It takes approximately three hours to explore everything in this cave.
    • After exiting the cave, there will be a return hike through the jungle followed by a delicious picnic lunch.
