Top Places to Visit in Western Belize

What to do?

Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave

Actun Tunichil Muknal is one of the most impressive and artefact-rich Maya

ceremonial caves ever found, contain-ing rare bloodletting altars used in sacri-fices by Maya roy-alty and over 1400 catalogued artefacts

as well as sacrificial human remains. The ATM Cave is home to the famous “Crystal Maiden” the intact skeleton of a young female that, due to a

covering of calcium carbonate, sparkles eerily in the lamp light.

The ATM Cave is a wet cave – you swim

Jungle Rivers, hidden water-falls, mysterious ceremonial caves, ancient Maya cities, picturesque moun-tains, easy living and quaint villages are all tucked into the beautiful Cayo District in Western Belize.

into the mouth and then wade through ankle to chest high water before climb-ing to a labyrinth of dry chambers which lead to the cathedral-like main hall, a towering chamber 350 metres in length and 50 mteres wide and filled with arte-facts and sacrificial remains. After this another climb takes you to the stone sep-ulchre (after which the cave is named) where the Crystal Maiden lies.

This is an extraordi-nary Belize adventure and a rare opportu-nity to see ancient Maya ceremonial sites and altars as they were and virtu-ally untouched for centuries. Chaa Creek has always taken an active interest in ensuring that Actun Tunichil Muknal remains as unspoiled as possible, and we

are proud to be part of an ongoing effort to protect and pre-serve this invaluable piece of Maya and Belizean heritage.

xunantunichXunantunich or Maiden of the Rock is situated on the West-ern Highway across the river from the vil-lage of San Jose Suc-cotz. This major cer-emonial center can be reached by ferry daily and it is only 1.5 Kilometer (one mile) from some lovely rapids of the Mopan River. This Classic Period site provides

an impressive view of the entire river valley. The site core occupies only 300 square meters but the periphery covers several square kilo-meters.

El Castillo rises 40 meters above plaza level, making it one of the tallest build-ings in Belize. On this structure there are two temples. The lower temple is famous for its large stucco frieze. A mask with larger ears probably represents the sun god. Next to this mask, there is

a moon sign with a border of signs repre-senting Venus. l
