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.

Relax in our clean and spacious rooms

Hol Chan Marine Snorkel

In the home of Belize's Manatee Reserve. 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
