We cross the Mopan River by ferry to take a walking tour Xunantunich. Xunantunich (shoo-NAHN-too-nich) means “Stone Woman” in the Maya language. Most of the structures date from the Maya Classic Era, about 200 to 900. Consisting of a series of six plazas surrounded by more than 26 temples and palaces. One of its structures, the pyramid known as “El Castillo,” the second tallest structure in Belize (after the temple at Caracol), at some 130 feet (40 m) tall.[1] Archeological excavations have revealed a number of fine stucco facades on some of the ancient temples of this site. Evidence of construction suggests the temple was built in three stages in the 600s AD, 700s AD, and 800s AD. The fine stucco or “frieze” are located on the final stage. Next stop Cahal Pech. We like to call this tour Twin Cities. Cahal Pech is a mid-sized complex settled around 1000 BC and abandoned by 800 AD. The site consists of seven plazas and over 30 structures including temples, residential buildings, ballcourts, an altar and a sweathouse, all situated on a compact 2 acres. The name Cahal Pech is a combination Kekchi & Mopan Mayan, meaning Place of the Ticks, and refers to the fact that the surrounding area was once used as pasture land. There are no more ticks here than at any other site – very few, if any! Lunch will be enjoyed at San Ignacio Town.

Actun Tunichil Muknalor aka ATM

For the moderately fit and super adventurous this is hands down the most talked about cave in Belize. This no longer has to be an overnight away from the island. At Tsunami Adventures, we offer this a day trip with plenty of time to enjoy this trip. Departing Early and return late to the island of Caye Caulkee, we can also arrange pick up Belize City and other locations, ask us.
ATM was discovered in 1989 and open to the general public since 1998, the ATM cave is a full five kilometers deep. We journey 2 kilometers into the cave. After a 45 minute walk in the cool tropical rainforest and across three streams you enter its hourglass-shaped mouth for a 10 meters swim in water at most 5 meters deep, to land on a rock shelf. The next 600+ meters is a journey of well over a half hour filled with many sharp & slippery edges, water depth alternates from just covering your toes to portions where only the tallest won’t need to swim. Helmets provided and mandatory. Along the way you pass many calcite formations, a few which have undergone minor sculpting (purpose unknown), by the Maya. After this distance, you ascend 2 or 3 meters to a shelf above the river. From this point forward is shallowed ground, where you walk barefoot (with socks only). Don’t forget to bring your socks and bring shoes like Teva’s or Keens or finger toe shoes or similar. As you go forward you encounter increasing amounts of pottery of all sizes, their condition from near intact to completely shattered. Catalogued within the cave are over 1400 artifacts – pottery, tools, and ceremonial items dating from 1 to 1000 AD – including over 200 vessels. While over half of all the items appear in plain sight in small pools, they are also tucked away between stalagmites, on small, high shelves or other unusual places. The artwork found in Actun Uayazba Kab in unmatched when compared to any other site.

A not-so-common artifact are human remains. So far, remains from fourteen individuals have been found; 7 adults & 7 children, all under the age of 5. These are not the ceremonial burials found in the other two caves in the area, but are sacrificial victims. They were all likely sacrificed in the hopes of appeasing the gods and bringing rain. Young victims, particularly females, were important for rituals to be “zuhui” – pure & uncontaminated in the eyes of the gods. The Crystal Maiden was a young woman of about 20 years old whose complete remains lie at the back of the cave. It is believed that she was clubbed and left for dead, and with the passing of time she has been cemented to the floor in a layer of brown calcite. (To reach her final resting place, you must climb aluminum ladders mounted on a sheer rock face!) Don’t choose this tour if you are not an extreme adventure lover, it is not for the faint hearted!
