Early breakfast before Day Trip to the ATM Caves. This will be a moderate physically demanding adventure as it has a 45 min walk from the parking lot to the cave's entrance where the exciting part of the adventure begins. Magical Remnants of Maya Culture frozen on stone, immortalized for generations to come. Experience the energy from the past that is still to be witness in the present due to rituals and ceremonies of what appears to have been human sacrifice deep with the cave system. Lunch on site and then back to the hotel and relax for rest of day as this trip can be energy depriving.

This day can be flexible in terms of activities and will be open with a few choices. Some of the choices are:

Trip to Xunantunich Maya Site in order to get to the site, you will be crossing the Mopan River on a hand cranked ferry. This place has the second tallest Mayan temple in the country of Belize overseeing the beautiful scenery that the western part of the country has to offer.
Trip to Cahal Pech Maya site sitting right in town, this small site offers a relaxed and easy trip to witness the well-maintained architectural beauty of the site where corbel arches are the theme of the temples.
Maya Chocolate Tour cacao is considered to be one of the most exquisite flavours in the world nonetheless, it was domesticated by the Mayas. In this activity, you will learn the process of making cacao into chocolate. Cacao, once considered a currency by the Mayas, it was also used to create a ritualistic drink that would be used in rituals and ceremonies as a connection to the gods.

Due to the proximity of the sites, a combination of two options can be made with other possible options that depend on your interest and choice.
Leave Crystal Paradise at your convenience as there are multiple Ferrys that can be taken after the 2hr drive to the Water Taxi Terminal.
