visit the ATM caves in Belize&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<div class=\"entry-content\" itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Hidden in the middle of the Belize Jungle, the ATM cave is one of Central America\u2019s great natural and historical wonders. Belize is mostly known for its beaches and Mayan ruins, but these caves are probably its most spectacular landmark.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting the ATM caves in Belize is an adventure in itself, as it involves a trail through the jungle, swimming in the cave\u2019s darkness, crossing very tight spaces, climbing rocks, ladders, and much more. However, what makes them really special is their significance in the Mayan world and the archaeological artifacts that are hidden there.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will explain how to visit the ATM caves, what you will find, how much it costs, the level of difficulty, and what you need (and are allowed) to bring. In short, everything you need to know to visit the ATM caves.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_ATM_caves\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_ATM_caves\"><\/span>What are ATM caves?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(Re-)Discovered only in 1980, the ATM caves are extremely significant for the ancient Mayans. After a few years of research, the cave opened to the public in 1998, and since then, it has attracted the interest of many adventurous <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ers.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, it was possible to take pictures and videos of the caves, but currently and after an incident with a tourist\u2019s camera, it was completely prohibited. For this very reason, this article has so few photos, and obviously, those of the interior of the cave are not our own.<\/p>\n<p>ATM is the initials of Actun Tunichil Muknal, which in the Mayan language means \u201cStone Burial Grotto\u201d due to the remains of a young Mayan girl that were found in a sacrificial chamber inside the cave \u2013 the famous Crystal Maiden. Incredibly we can visit this chamber and find those same remains there, as we will explain below.<\/p>\n<p>The solemn significance of the caves hardly leaves anyone indifferent. After walking, swimming, and climbing rocks, we arrive at several interior chambers where shards of Mayan pottery are found, as well as the remains of human sacrifices. Archaeological evidence shows that the cave was used as a place for human sacrifices to please or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ease the gods.<\/p>\n<p>The most remarkable thing about the unique artifacts and original human remains is their degree of conservation. Belize authorities have not allowed the removal of virtually any object, and everything you will see has basically not been touched, not even by archaeologists. Making the whole experience almost surreal. For all this, National Geographic considered the ATM Cave one of the most important sacred places on our planet.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"723\" alt=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize\" class=\"wp-image-29030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves-768x544.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 1 visit the ATM caves in Belize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves.jpg\" alt=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize\" class=\"wp-image-29030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Hiking-to-ATM-caves-768x544.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 1 visit the ATM caves in Belize\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hike to the ATM Caves in Belize<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ATM_Caves_in_Belize_%E2%80%93_General_information\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ATM_Caves_in_Belize_-_General_information\"><\/span>ATM Caves in Belize \u2013 General information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8c267870\">\n<div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-10a30a25\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-31a31f1a\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-31a31f1a\">\n<div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong> ATM Caves<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start<\/strong>: San Ignacio<\/li>\n<li><strong>End<\/strong>: San Ignacio<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distance<\/strong>\u2013 2.5 km of Jungle trail, 500 meters of walking in the river inside the cave, 200 meters of hiding and climbing inside the cave<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time<\/strong> \u2013 A few hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Difficulty <\/strong>\u2013 Alta<\/li>\n<li><strong>Type <\/strong>\u2013 Linear, way, and back<\/li>\n<li><strong><\/strong><strong>Signs(1-5)<\/strong> \u2013 Only with a guide<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> 100 to 125 USD per person<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highlights: <\/strong>Mayan artifacts, human skeletons, caving, Belizean Jungle;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-01f3704c\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-01f3704c\">\n<div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" alt=\"ATM Caves in Belize -

On the other hand, it\u2019s also one of the most fun, unique and amazing things we\u2019ve ever done.

Or at least the most reputable ones. Costs may vary slightly, but they also end up being very similar, as everyone knows the prices charged by the competition.<\/p>\n<p>The difference tends to be made by the size of the groups and the guides, and in both cases, it isn\u2019t easy to know what to expect when booking. In our case, we were in doubt about going with MayaWalk Tours or Explore Inland Tours, as they have a good reputation and offered us the same price.<\/p>\n<p>We ended up choosing Explore Inland Tours because it seemed that the group that day would be smaller. We were very satisfied because the guide was excellent (one of the best guides we\u2019ve ever had), the food was very good, and the group was very small since there were only 4 of us.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_possible_to_visit_the_caves_without_a_guide\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_possible_to_visit_the_caves_without_a_guide\"><\/span>Is it possible to visit the caves without a guide?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No!

The meeting time, in our case, was at 7:50, leaving at 8:00. After we were all prepared, we would go by van from San Ign\u00e1cio to the beginning of the trail.<\/p>\n<p>This route takes about 1h \u2013 1h30 and is done initially on asphalt and then on dirt. The landscape is quite beautiful and exciting as we will pass through rural areas, agricultural areas, and plantations of some tropical trees typical of Belize.

So leave everything you don\u2019t need in the car (sunglasses, cameras, cell phones, snacks, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>We start with a completely flat trail of about 2.5km, which doesn\u2019t present any difficulty\u2026 except for the 3 river crossings. Since there are no bridges, we must cross on foot or swim, depending on the water flow.<\/p>\n<p>The first passage is the most complicated, and it\u2019s natural here to have to swim or pull yourself up on the rope. Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s a lot more fun than challenging. In the other two, the water is usually up to your knees, so walking is fine. Just be careful not to slip.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"723\" alt=\"The trail to ATM cave in Belize\" class=\"wp-image-29007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize-768x542.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 5 visit the ATM caves in Belize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize.jpg\" alt=\"The trail to ATM cave in Belize\" class=\"wp-image-29007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-to-do-the-ATM-caves-in-Belize-768x542.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 5 visit the ATM caves in Belize\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Crossing the river to get to the ATM caves in Belize<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The walk takes about 45 minutes but can vary a little depending on the size of the group and the stops that are made for the crossings, sightings of animals, or simply curiosities that the guide may show.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at the entrance to the Cave, we have to leave behind everything we still have with us, such as water. We cannot take anything into the caves except clothes, shoes, and a helmet with a flashlight provided by the agency.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tour_overview_%E2%80%93_wet_grotto\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tour_overview_-_wet_grotto\"><\/span>Tour overview \u2013 wet grotto<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Entry into the group starts right away with a short swimming session. We have to swim a few meters to cross the river. A few meters ahead, we have to turn on the lanterns as there is no longer any natural light, and the cave has no artificial light.<\/p>\n<p>From here, we will always walk or swim upstream through the cave. It is undoubtedly an incredible experience and almost unique. We\u2019ve done a lot of water activities and a few caves, but this one goes to the top of our favorites (perhaps on par with Wadi Mujib in Jordan).<\/p>\n<p>The guide will explain the characteristics of the cave, the stalactites, stalagmites, columns, etc. It also shows the best way to overcome all the obstacles that arise, and at this stage, we realize that it would be impossible to explore the cave without a guide.<\/p>\n<p>This cave lasts for 5km, but we\u2019re only going to do about 500 meters by water and then 180 by land. These 500 meters take a good half hour to 45 minutes to do, giving us the feeling that we walk much further. It\u2019s not that it\u2019s particularly hard, the parts that require you to swim are pretty short, and the walk, despite being in the water, is nice and easy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Hiking to the ATM cave in Belize\" class=\"wp-image-29131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 6 visit the ATM caves in Belize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking to the ATM cave in Belize\" class=\"wp-image-29131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Actun-Tunichil-Muknal-Belize-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 6 visit the ATM caves in Belize\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Actun Tunichil Muknal Archaeological Reserve in Belize<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tour_Overview_%E2%80%93_Dry_Grotto\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tour_Overview_-_Dry_Grotto\"><\/span>Tour Overview \u2013 Dry Grotto<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After about 500 meters, the guide tells us the water section is over. First, we climb a huge rock, and then we have to take off our shoes as we cannot continue the tour with shoes on. We will enter the most protected area of the cave, and all precautions are necessary. We have to be very careful, especially where we step and with all the artifacts that we are going to find.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we can go barefoot or in socks \u2013 it\u2019s up to you, but we advise you to wear socks as they are much more comfortable. Along the 200 meters, we will first find many Mayan artifacts and then some real skeletons.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the tour has been amazing and definitely fun. It was almost worth it just for this, but this cave is, in fact, unique, and we are still missing the highlight \u2013 the artifacts and original human skeletons.<\/p>\n<p>After some instructions from the guide on what to do and where to walk, we enter the old Mayan World with hundreds of artifacts that are a thousand years old or more. In addition to their preservation, these objects are located where they were found and just as they were found.<\/p>\n<p>The Crystal maiden is the most famous relic in the cave. Due to the natural characteristics of the cave, it seems to glow with the lights of our lanterns. It is also the last visit of the tour. After seeing the various human remains, we must return precisely the same way we came. <\/p>\n<p>Where else in the world can we see the original artifacts and human remains precisely how they were left 1000 years ago? Not even archaeologists were allowed to touch it. It\u2019s fascinating and helps to understand why there are so many precautions and limitations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1320\" height=\"600\" alt=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize\" class=\"wp-image-29136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover-150x68.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover-768x349.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 7 visit the ATM caves in Belize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1320\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover.jpg\" alt=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize\" class=\"wp-image-29136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover-150x68.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Como-visitar-a-gruta-ATM-no-Belize-Cover-768x349.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 7 visit the ATM caves in Belize\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mayan artifacts and relics inside the ATM cave<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_time_of_year_to_go_to_the_ATM_Caves\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_time_of_year_to_go_to_the_ATM_Caves\"><\/span>What is the best time of year to go to the ATM Caves?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Access to the caves can be done at any time of the year, as long as the river flow allows it.

As we said above, we can only go to the caves with a guide, so the guide takes us to the caves and then guides us inside.<\/p>\n<p>ATM cave tours start in the center of San Ignacio. Usually, we have to go to a designated place, and from there, we take the vans to the entrance to the caves. In some cases, agencies can pick up clients from hotels. But San Ignacio is really small, and it should be easy to get there.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: The tours start pretty early (8 am in our case), and lunch is only between 1 pm and 2 pm, so it\u2019s essential to have a hearty breakfast. If you don\u2019t have breakfast at the accommodation, we recommend going to Mike\u2019s Kitchen next to the San Ign\u00e1cio Market, as it opens very early and serves good Belizean breakfasts.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"736\" alt=\"How to get to the ATM Grotto\" class=\"wp-image-29009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize-768x552.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 9 visit the ATM caves in Belize\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize.jpg\" alt=\"How to get to the ATM Grotto\" class=\"wp-image-29009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nature-in-Belize-768x552.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"How to visit the ATM caves in Belize 9 visit the ATM caves in Belize\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Path to the ATM Archaeological Reserve in Belize<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_when_visiting_the_ATM_caves\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_when_visiting_the_ATM_caves\"><\/span>Where to stay when visiting the ATM caves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The ATM caves are one of the most incredible monuments in Belize and Central America.
