We recently returned from a trip to Belize and were lucky enough to make a trip to the ATM cave with Carlos "The Caveman" as our guide. The trip was great from beginning to end. Carlos picked us up at our hotel and took us to the cave where he provided lunch before we went in. Unlike many of the... More

Wow. This truly is a spiritual experience. The cave itself is one of God's great works of art, and our PACZ guide, Manuel, was FANTASTIC (very knowledgeable, respectful of the environment and its history, friendly, entertaining, patient and encouraging -- my friend freaked out and started crying at the 1st narrow passage and wanted to back out, but he gently...

My wife and I went to ATM and had a fantastic time. I echo so many points stated before and there are enough reviews on that. I want to talk about the exertion level of the ATM adventure. I am a big man. I were a 3x shirt. Although we walk and exercise daily, I was extremely worried about being... More

ATM is an amazing cave and unlike any other spelunking adventure due to the skeletons & artifacts you see along the way. I only wish you could wear your shoes the whole time...you must remove them for the last half hour or so and while I understand & respect this Mayan custom, scrambling over rocks barefoot is really dangerous. I... More

I won't repeat what the other reviews have said but I am quite a seasoned world traveller and this is a really unique experience. Also, they will most likely close this off to the public one of these days soon so don't miss your chance.

If you want to experience true adventure you must see the ATM cave in Cayo, Belize. My husband and I first visited the cave in 2005, was stuck in the jungle overnight with Carlos Panti, our guide and other tourist, had an amazing time. We became great friends with Carlos and have returned many times with friends to see the... More

We hesitated a bit, since everyone seemed to be doing it, and we like to avoid really touristy stuff. But, I'm so glad that we did it! The ATM cave was one of our favorite tours ever. It's a nice level of adventure (exciting, but not terrifying, as long as you aren't afraid of small spaces). Just be aware that... More
