Actun Tunichil Muknal Tour (ATM Cave)
Description
Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave was rated by the Discovery Channel as the number one Sacred Cave in the world. Only accessible by swimming across a spring-fed pool, ATM contains hundreds of relics that have lain undisturbed for more than a millennia. At the far end of the cave lie the bones of more than a dozen men, women, and children who were ritually slaughtered by the ancient Maya.
This tour departs very early from Placencia. It is a 2.5-hour drive each way but it is so worth it. This is an experience of a lifetime.

Know before you go
It is always recommended to bring an awesome adventure’s attitude ready to explore, bug repellant, sunblock that is safe for the environment, and personal snacks and a pair of socks. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for our outdoor activities. Always bring a towel or change of clothing for after-water activities.
Wear clothing that are suitable for exploring inside a wet cave (do not wear a bathing suit) eg. Dry fit or rash guards, leggings or long exercise gear or board short. Your clothes will get wet.
