ATM Crystal Maiden
Actun Tunichil Muknal Tours
One of the Magical highlights for the more active is our tour to Actun
Tunichil Muknal (ATM for short
“Cave of the
Stone Sepulcher”)
.
An
Expedition underground to find the Crystal Mayan Maiden,
this cave was
featured in the National Geographic Explorer film Journey through
the Underworld (1993).
You will bounce over some rough road to get to the start, then
trek through some steamy jungle for up to an hour, fording the
river 3 times (the water may be up to your knees, or even
higher) to get to the mouth of the cave. Then you swim into the
cave (or you may just walk through the water ) and make your way
past stalactites and stalagmites to crystallized human remains
from Mayan rituals which took place more than a thousand years
ago. This is an awesome trip which is arguably not for the
faint-hearted;
that is why we run a more sedate
option on the same day! some of your
family member may choose to spend
time exploring Mayan, Mennonite and Mestizo
population centers with their different cultural
overtones instead
Joining our program
means paying less, and therefore getting great value. Relax
comfortably in our clean, spacious, air-conditioned rooms with
en suite bathrooms. Enjoy the advantages of staying in a
tranquil private village. Experience the lush beauty of the
tropics right outside your door. Try signature dishes from six
different cultures - Mayan, Mestizo, Mexican, Garifuna, Kriol
and Taiwanese; everyone says the food is one of the best things
about the Orchid Garden. Vegetarians are welcome, and well
catered for.
One of the most memorable parts of your trip will be the time
spent at our Eco-Village, and the 90 minute tour of its nature
trail, its museums full of natural wonders, and its interesting
examples of eco-sustainable practices.
