Actun Tunichil Muknal Caving

Dated back to the late terminal classic period (700-900AD), this cave was used by generations of Mayans and is home to various artwork, clay pottery, ceremonial artifacts, and tools. Interestingly, Actun Tunichil Muknal was named after the sacrificial chamber within the cave where one of the most famous human remains, known as “The Crystal Maiden,” was found. This is a skeleton of a teenage girl, probably a sacrifice victim, whose bones have been completely covered by the natural processes of the cave, leaving them completely intact with a sparkling appearance.

This tour is a scenic 3 hours drive, followed by 45 minutes nature hike through dense jungle in the 6,700 lush acres of the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve. Throughout this hike, you will cross flowing streams and will witness the lush flora and fauna of Belize. At the entrance of the cave you will be outfitted with the necessary equipment preparing you for your journey into the underworld. It is a must see site, but is not for the faint of heart as it requires an intensive hike and swim within the depths of the cave.

This tour can be purchased as an a la carte tour. Kindly review our tour policies, which are listed on our policies page.
