New!ATM Tour: An Expedition Underground to the Cave of
the Crystal Mayan Maiden
One of the highlights for the more active is our tour to Actun
Tunichil Muknal (ATM for short
“Cave of the
Stone Sepulcher”)
. An
Expedition underground to find the Crystal Mayan Maiden,
this cave was
featured in the National Geographic Explorer film Journey through
the Underworld (1993).
You will bounce over some rough road to get to the start, then
trek through some steamy jungle for up to an hour, fording the
river 3 times (the water may be up to your knees, or even
higher) to get to the mouth of the cave. Then you swim into the
cave (or you may just walk through the water ) and make your way
past stalactites and stalagmites to crystallized human remains
from Mayan rituals which took place more than a thousand years
ago. This is an awesome trip which is arguably not for the
faint-hearted; which is why we run a more sedate option on the
same day! You may choose to spend time exploring Mayan,
Mennonite and Mestizo population centers with their different
cultural overtones instead.

to search for graceful "sea cows"
swimming and frolicking in their natural
habitat.
Cave
Tubing
On the way to
cave tubing, a nature hiking through the
rainforest jungle. Along the walk you will
be shown the flora and fauna as well as
herbs used for medicinal purposes by the
ancient Mayas.
After the
rainforest hike you will then reach the cave
branch river and enter in an inner tube and
enter a tunnel where you will be floating in
a system of Caves. It is one of the most
sensational tour of Belize.
Lamanai Maya Ruin
Travel by boat along the New River and witness
the same flora and fauna ancient Mayan traders
observed on the way to the Lamanai ancient city.
Lamanai, or "submerged crocodile," is off the
beaten track-perhaps the reason why it thrived
for over 3000 years
Lamanai is also a botanical and wildlife reserve
and showcases many native exotic birds and
plants used for medicinal and commercial
purposes.
Most trees are labeled along the trails for easy
identification
