ATM Cave

If there’s one tour in Belize that will blow your mind, it’s the Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave—better known as the ATM Cave. Trust us, this experience will stick with you forever!

Located just outside the capital of Belize(Belmopan), the ATM Cave is hands-down Belize’s most popular cave tour, and for good reason. This massive underground system is packed with history, mystery, and jaw-dropping natural beauty. Archaeologists consider it a treasure trove, filled with Maya artifacts and even skeletal remains, while the ecosystem inside is home to bats, crabs, crayfish, and tropical fish.

ATM is a must-see for adventure seekers and history buffs alike. It’s one of Belize’s most stunning attractions, and tours are limited to only 125 visitors per day, exclusively led by licensed guides. Pro tip: Book early, because this tour fills up fast!

What to Pack

This isn’t your average tour—it’s a full-on adventure, so come prepared:

• Socks (this is mandatory).

• Closed-toe shoes (hiking shoes or sneakers are ideal).

• Comfortable clothes (you’re going to get wet).

• A change of clothes (because trust us, you’ll need it).

• Towel (you’ll be soaked).

• Sunblock (protect your skin on the hike).

• Water bottle (stay hydrated).

• Snack (for some post-cave energy).

What to Expect

Your day kicks off with a 45-minute trek through the breathtaking Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve. Think lush jungle vibes, exotic wildlife, and major adventure feels. Along the way, your guide will drop some knowledge about the local plants and animals, adding to the experience.

Oh, and get ready for the river crossings—there are three. The first one? It’s no joke. You’ll wade through chest-high, freezing water, pulling yourself across with a rope. By the time you reach the cave entrance, you’ll already feel like a jungle explorer. (Spoiler: You’ll be completely soaked, but that’s part of the fun!)

Once inside, prepare for a jaw-dropping journey through ancient history and natural wonder. No photos, no distractions—just pure, unfiltered adventure. This is Belize at its rawest and most epic. You in?
