Actun Tunichil Muknal with Gonzo

Actun Tunichil Muknal with Gonzo | Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it
From www.cathielank.com - March 18, 2012 4:45 PM

Gonzo, aka the River Rat, showed off ATM.

 

"Our guide, Gonzo, drives us deep into the tropical forest. At the end of the road he parks his 4 x 4, grabs his massive flashlight and tells us from here we have to hike.
We, my husband Rob and two daughters 10 and 12, are in Belize and dressed in our worse clothes for a three-hour tour of the famous Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave located in the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve close to San Ignacio.  It’s famous for it’s Mayan sacrificial chambers. Rob and I know we are about to see broken pottery and some human remains deep in the cave and that we have to swim to enter the cave but know nothing else and we have kept it a surprise from the children.  All they know at this point is that they are hiking into the tropical forest."
