Overview

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 artefacts.

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 artefacts 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.
