Actun Tunichil Muknal "Cave of the Stone Sepulcher" is one of the most impressive caves in
the Maya Lowland. Located in the heart of the Belizean Rainforest, this cave was a sacred place
to the prehistoric Maya of Belize, who first began to use the entrance during the early classic
period (300-600AD). It was not until the late terminal classic period (700-900AD) that the Mayas
traveled deeper into the Cave to conduct their ceremonies
The cave system consists of a series of chambers, ending in a 300 by 50 meter Cathedral where
sacrificial ceremonies once took place. Here you will be exposed to the individuals sacrificed
to the gods of the underworld. Visitors to this cave have the opportunity to travel into the
Maya past and witness a living museum where the human sacrificies and artifacts can be viewed in
their original context
