Deep in Belize's Cayo District, Actun Tunichil Muknal, ATM for short, is a limestone cave system where ancient Maya pottery and ceremonial remains still sit exactly where they were left centuries ago. Reaching them means wading and swimming through the cave itself, one of Central America's most striking archaeological experiences. Four trips, from 5 to 11 days, pair the ATM cave with the rest of Belize's interior: hike into Caracol's ruins, swim the Rio On Pools in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, canoe the Rio Macal, and camp on Half Moon Caye between sessions of snorkeling Lighthouse Reef. Talk to an Adventure Life planner who can match the rest of your Belize itinerary around this cave.

I am booking a trip to Belize. We are staying at more upscale resorts and my standard AAA travel team was not able to access and book. Adventure Life has been responsive, fair in price and extremely helpful in booking a trip at the preferred resorts, provided excellent knowledge and experience for Belize and put together all our transportation so we can relax and enjoy!

The trip booking process was smooth and easy due to the trip planners' courteous, quick assistance. I made inquiries at pretty much the 11th hour for a particular trip date, and the planners were able to respond promptly with a customized itinerary that alleviated a concern I had about a particular day trip. Thank you, Adventure-Life trip planners for your help!

They have good first hand experience with the locations and excursions. All the guides they have arranged for us are super knowledgeable, personable, and great. The group excursions they arrange for us are almost always a very small group, often just us.
