Explore the ancient and mysterious ATM Caves

Experience a captivating journey through the Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Caves in Belize, near San Ignacio, Cayo District.

This Maya archaeological site is renowned for its intriguing discoveries, including skeletons, ceramics, and stoneware.

Within the main chamber, you'll encounter several areas with skeletal remains, most notably, "The Crystal Maiden," believed to be a 17-year-old sacrifice victim, whose bones have taken on a sparkling, crystallized appearance.

The site's ceramics bear "kill holes," suggesting their use in ceremonial rituals. Many Maya artifacts and remains have become one with the cave floor, and unique finds like the "Monkey Pot" shed light on Maya culture.

The cave's formations were also modified to create altars and intriguing silhouettes. As you explore, you'll discover a world inhabited by bats, freshwater crabs, crayfish, and other unique creatures. Actun Tunichil Muknal offers a glimpse into ancient Maya life and a remarkable natural world.

Join us for a tour that balances the preservation of this extraordinary site with sharing its wonders with visitors. Discover the secrets hidden within this 3-mile long cave system, where history and nature converge in a breathtaking subterranean adventure.
