Actun Tunichil Muknal
ATM Cave Tour - Belize
ATM Cave (Actun Tunichil Muknal) "Cave of the Stone Sepulcher" is one of the most impressive caves in the Maya Lowland. Located in the heart of the Belizean Rainforest, this cave was a sacred place to the Mayan of Belize, who first began to use the entrance during the early classic period (300-600AD). It was not until the late terminal classic period (700-900AD) that the Mayas traveled deeper into the Cave to conduct their ceremonies.
The ATM Cave system consists of a series of chambers, ending in a 300 by 50 meter Cathedral where sacrificial ceremonies once took place. Here you will be exposed to the individuals sacrificed to the gods of the underworld. This ATM Cave Tour offer visitors the opportunity to travel into the Maya past and witness a living museum where human sacrificies and artifacts can be viewed in their original context.
