Description

Pass the gateway of the Mayan Underworld, stepping into hidden chambers revealing ancient Mayan artifacts, human skeletons and geological processes that have helped to shape the Mayan underworld
Embrace your adventurous spirit and enter the Mayan underworld at ATM Cave. See Mayan artifacts and swim in the blue waters in Actun Tunichil Mukna Cave. Your day trip includes hotel pickup, as well as lunch and snacks.
Departing from Belize City hotels, head to the starting point for your hike. Make your first river crossing and hike 30 minutes to the cave entrance for a safety demonstration and explanation of what to expect on your ATM Cave tour.
Enter the cave by swimming and then walking through the main water passage until you reach the dry chamber. To enter the chamber, you will be required to remove your shoes to protect the cave from damage and erosion.
Marvel at the cave's Mayan artifacts, most of which are calcified into the ground, unmoved even by archaeologists. Listen to your guide talk about the rituals and ceremonies, bloodletting offerings, food offerings, and human offerings, including the 15 human remains uncovered by archaeologists.
Climb a ladder to access the last chamber to see full skeletal remains before exiting the cave the same way you came in. Hike back to the parking lot before replenishing yourself with lunch and returning to your Belize City hotel.
