Cultural Exploration
ATM CAVE (ACTUN TUNICHIL MUKNAL)
Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM Cave) is most famous as an ancient archaeological site, containing
the skeletal remains of Maya human sacrifices, pottery, and other ancient artifacts. Visitors go
bananas over the fully intact skeleton from around 700-900 AD that literally sparkles, thanks to
time and science. You’ll hike to the location, wade across rushing rivers in waist-deep water, climb
wet ladders inside a cave in just your socks, then enter a deep, dark hole in the side of a mountain
because a tour guide told you to (and maybe pee yourself a little – but that’s okay!). This is one of
the more difficult tours offered in Belize, but the effort is well-worth the experience. ***Warning:
This is not a cave for young children, those not physically fit, with knee, hip or ankle problems or
with problems with claustrophobia and or heights.
Bring: sunscreen, hat, swimsuit or wetsuit, sturdy shoes and socks, dry clothes, towel, souvenir cash

hosts, dressed in traditional attire, will teach you about the history and tradition of one of Belize’s
prominent ethnic groups.
Learn about the many magical and beneficial properties of the coconut and the art of traditional
coconut harvesting, husking, grating and milk extraction - you’ll be an expert before the day is
through! Your labor of love will be repaid many times over when you sit down to partake in a
delicious Hudut, a coconut-based soup with fresh herbs and the catch of the day. Your meal will
be served with pounded plantains and fried fish.
At the end of the day you’ll learn the basic drumming techniques of the Garifuna parranda and
punta rhythms. Let the beat of the Primera and Segunda drums revitalize you and end your night
with a sweet treat - a traditional Garifuna dessert.

Ancient Mayan Sites
XUNANTUNICH (STONE MAIDEN) & BLUE HOLE CAVE TUBING OR SWIM

drive through the Hummingbird Highway. Once you cross into Western Belize, your journey takes
you across the Mopan River on a hand-cranked ferry to reach the ancient site of Xunantunich.

and Petén, Guatemala. After your climb, it’s time for lunch at a local restaurant before heading

LIVING MAYA EXPERIENCE & NIM LI PUNIT


The Living Maya Experience offers you an immensely enjoyable visit to a Mayan home in Big Falls
Village. You will experience a traditional Mayan home, furnished with all natural materials, from
Balsa wood benches to beds of tree bark. The Living Maya Experience is a must as the Kek’chi
Maya culture is quickly disappearing. You’ll spend time in a Mayan home that offers a look back to
a time when they depended on the land for everything from food to furniture to medicine. You’ll
even get to help cook (and enjoy!) a traditional Maya meal. The traditional meal that will be served
is chicken, prepared only with organic seasonings including recado, cilantro & culantro.
After lunch, visit Nim Li Punit. This Maya site is named for a carving found on the longest of the
site’s twenty-six stone monuments, or stelae. The longest stelae is carved with a figure wearing a
large headdress and, at a length of 30 feet, is the longest discovered in Belize and one of the tallest
in the Maya world.
