Overview
Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) in Belize is one of the most popular and impressive Maya ceremonial caves. The caving part of this all-day tour from Hopkins takes you through a subterranean river. You'll need to swim into the mouth of the cave and wade through ankle- to chest-high water before climbing through intricate passageways of dry chambers to reach a cathedral-like main hall that’s 1,148 feet (350 meters) in length and 164 feet (50 meters) wide and is filled with artifacts and sacrificial remains.
- See the Crystal Maiden—a skeleton of a girl who was sacrificed
- ATM is a wet cave, meaning you’ll need to swim and wade through water
- Travelers should have a moderate level of physical fitness

This experience was definitely a highlight on our first trip to Belize. Swimming and climbing through the caves as the ancient Maya did was truly mind blowing. The caves themselves are just magnificent. When you reach the chamber where all of the remains are, you will need to pinch yourself - it’s INSANE how everything has been naturally preserved! Thanks to our experienced guide Edward for safely leading us through and sharing the amazing history of the ATM caves. Lunch is super delicious too! Make sure you grab breakfast or a snack before leaving Hopkins, because it’s a late lunch after a LONG day of physical activity/driving.

The whole experience was exhilarating. The hike to the cave involved crossing the river 3 times (swimming and walking). One enters the cave swimming and the fun starts. Manuvering the cave, squeezing between tiny pathways and crevices, in and out of the water. Then seeing the Mayan ritual site. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informed us of the history as well as the geology of the cave.
