Day 6 Explore the Greatest Cave in the World
- Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave (ATM) was the best adventure we went on during our travels to Belize.
- National Geographic’s rated this cave as their best Sacred Cave in the World.
- Once on your Tour bus out of San Ignacio, you will have an 7 hour extraordinary adventure at the Cave. Read more about it in this post.(ATM cave post).

Day 7 Return Home
- Most flights out of Belize to the USA are around 1-3pm. I would suggest leaving at least 6 hours prior to your flight. If an accident occurs on the Main freeway this leads to huge traffic jams since this is the only road to the airport.
