Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave Tour og Picnic
Beskrivelse
Actun Tunichil Muknal er en mystisk og smuk portal til den antikke maya og deres traditioner, ceremonier og spiritualitet. Denne hulsystem fungerede som et ceremonielt sted, hvor maya udførte ofre og andre ceremonier, da de behandlede ekstreme og barske forhold i tider med tørke. Udforsk dette frodige område omgivet af smukke jungler, og hulen indgangen er krydset ved at svømme over en krystalklar foråret fodret pool. Tilbring 3 timer i hulen efter vandreture gennem regnskoven. Her vil du se fantastiske artefakter, alter og de krystalliserede skeletter af den offerede pige, The Crystal Maiden.

Rejseplan
At tage en rejse ind i Maya-underverdenen ved Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) eller "Stengraven" for en af de mest oplysende, episke og unikke oplevelser i dit liv. Forlad de levendes verden bag dig, når du vågner ind i hjertet af ATM Cave med din licenserede guide. For nylig anset som National Sacred Cave destination i verden af National Geographic, er ATM-hulen ikke kun smuk geologisk med sine krystallinske stalaktitter og stalagmitter, men også historisk, som det er et naturmuseum med antikke Maya-artefakter samt en hellig begravelse placere. Dette er det sidste hvilested for "Crystal Maiden", et gammelt Maya ceremonielt offer, samt resterne af 13 andre ofrede mænd, kvinder og børn. Dine professionelle guider har ført regeringsembedsmænd, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, British High Commission og amerikanske ambassadører ind i ATM Cave. Der er adgang til dette offersted 45 minutters kørsel fra vores kontor i San Ignacio.
Her går vi ind i Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve og parkerer vores køretøjer ved rangerposten. Fra dette tidspunkt er vi til fods og vandrer gennem junglen i cirka 45 minutter til indgangen til hulen. For at få adgang til hulen svømmer vi over en lille forårsmadet pool og vasser ind i hulens mørke underverden, der giver os adgang til den omfattende underjordiske labyrint af tunneler, passager og kamre, når vi klatrer i det ceremonielle kammer, der indeholder stentøj, keramik, den berømte krystalliserede skelet af "Crystal Maiden". Vi tilbringer ca. 3 timer i hulen under vejledning af vores erfarne guider. Vi kommer tilbage ind i junglens verden og vandrer til vores køretøjer, hvor vi slapper af og nyder en hjemmelavet picnicfrokost med vand og læskedrikke, inden vi kører tilbage til San Ignacio. Sværhedsgrad: Moderat (involveret nogle nemme svømning og redningsveste leveres til ikke-svømmere, som også vil blive ledsaget af vores højtuddannede guide).

Maya Walk Stuff was excellent in comunication and they were puntual and ready to take us to the tour without losing time, very informative guide and the Person on reservation was always there online to aswear any question i highly recommend this company
This tour is amazing! I would highly recommend it. Alex was our guide and he gave us such a great experience. The cave and the artifacts are incredible—I still can’t believe that we got to be in such close proximity to it all. Take the tour!
I will admit that I was a bit hesitant to book with Maya, since they seemed to dominate the online presence for tours, and I feared it would be a large, generic trip. I'm glad I did because all of my preconceived notions about the trip were inaccurate - yes, you need a helmet and closed-toe shoes, and the tour size is capped by the park service. The tour itself was unbelievable and should not be missed. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The guide was exceptional and impressed us throughout the tour with his historical, biological, and cultural knowledge.
Richard of MayaWalk was our guide on this adventure in June 2026. After a 30-45 minute walk through the forest with no bugs, we entered the cave by swimming through a pool of turqoise clear water. We proceeded to be in the cave around three hours crawling over, under, and through boulders, and wading and swimming through pools. Eventually we reached the upper chamber where we removed our shoes and walked in socks to preserve the integrity of the cave while viewing Mayan artifacts and remains. My teens have historically not liked tours, preferring to explore at their own pace. Richard caught their attention with engaging storytelling about the cave’s geology, Mayan history, and wildlife. We were lucky to have one guide for our family of four. Our teens rated this experience as better than visiting the above ground Mayan ruins and snorkeling the barrier reef. MayaWalk had absolutely too notch engaging, outgoing, and knowledgeable guides who thought of everything from a briefing on the ride to the caves covering phobias, to the best Belizean chicken meal we had on the trip. This is the tour to pick!
Our guide for this tour was Junior. He is passionate and informative and funny. We absolutely loved this excursion! MayaWalk is an excellent company, we took 3 different tours with them and our expectations were exceeded on all. Locally owned, great guides, convenient location. The lunch was delicious and driver was safe and courteous. Easy check in process, left on time. Highly recommend using this company!
The tour was a thrilling and exciting experience. The guides were very knowledgeable and concerned with keeping us safe. Francis made sure my 7 year old and my older kids had fun and were comfortable. This tour is an absolute must do while in Belize! Ended with a delicious picnic.
This tour is a must if you're anywhere nearby. So awesome! Our guide, Magdalena, was top notch - fun, intelligent, and very engaging! 5+ stars! We'd go again in a heartbeat.
This was such an amazing experience! Amil was an extremely knowledgeable and personable tour guide. We felt safe with him and had so much fun. A one of a kind experience, highly recommend it.
The Actun Tunichil Muncal cave tour was absolutely incredible. Our guide was Christian and he ensured to keep us moving quickly while stopping to explain all the key points of the jungle on the hike in, the cave, and even some fun facts about the greater jungle in the way out. He kept us together and instructed us on how to navigate safely from beginning to end. I will say- I do wish the tight spaces were emphasized more in the description of the experience, as a semi-claustrophobic person it was a bit nerve wracking to have a group in front and behind while trying to angle your head through two rocks, but Christian and my group made me feel safe and secure enough to continue. Maya walk tours was incredible as a whole and managed to send a ride out to us at our hotel in Belize city for an additional fee round trip. Lunch was delicious and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you MayaWalk
Don't miss! One of those experiences that is unique, and more fun than you can anticipate.
