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.
