Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave Day Trip

At 6 am, we depart from your hotel in Placencia to the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve, home to the Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave, also referred to as the ATM cave.

Upon arrival, we will explore the cave's underground passages, where we will encounter various human skeletons thought to have been involved in Mayan rituals. Some experts suggest these bones may have been sacrifices to the deity Chaac.

Continuing our visit, we will see the remains of a sacrificed adolescent known as the Crystal Maiden. The Maiden's bones have crystallized over time, giving them a glowing appearance. We will discuss the potential secrets surrounding this body.

After exiting the ATM Cave, we will visit a local restaurant for a traditional lunch featuring dishes from the Yucatan Peninsula, which combine Mayan cuisine with Caribbean flavors.

We will conclude the trip with a return to your hotel in Placencia, arriving at 5:30 pm.
