Enthralling tour, easily the coolest place I’ve ever been
Ashley_P
, Dec 2020
This is easily the coolest thing I’ve ever done. The hike begins with an easy water crossing and then a chill 1 mile walk through the jungle with two other river crossings. The adventure begins at the cave entrance when you jump into the refreshing blue water. From there you are in the water for the next quarter mile. The cave is cavernous and beautiful, filled with incredible rock formations. There are some spots where you go through narrow passes but nothing is too challenging. At the quarter mile point, you climb up on the ledge and follow the path of the Mayas, entering a living museum. The cave is filled with thousands of ceramics and several human skeletons. Our guides, Eric and Hector, told us many stories about why the Maya entered the cave and about their belief systems and culture. The entire tour you are surrounded by an absolutely surreal landscape that feels like you are truly in the center of the earth. On the way out, we took some more fun routes slipping down natural rock slides and swimming in the pool outside the cave. Our tour finished with a delicious chicken and rice lunch. When you come here, please do so with extreme respect for this place. Some of the cultural remains have been destroyed by careless visitors. No other place like this exists on earth.

Hue was very knowledgeable about the history of the cave. He gave an extensive background of the Mayans so it really made everything come to life and make sense. The cave it self was an amazing experience,it felt like something off Indiana Jones.

ATM cave exceeded our expectations. It was everything and more a cave lover could wish for, from beautiful formations covered with crystals to sites of Maya rituals and both material and human sacrifices. It was a magnificent experience. Our guide JC was very knowledgeable.
