Belize ATM Cave Review

"Unique experience.
I had an incredible experience with Pacz Tours on their ATM Cave tour. They organized a transfer for me from Belize City and even dropped me off at my new accommodation in San Ignacio at the end of the tour, which was extremely convenient. The tour itself, led by Oscar, was phenomenal. Swimming and climbing through the cave was a unique adventure, and the Maya relics at the end were truly impressive. I highly recommend the ATM tour to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind experience. It was unforgettable! The only downside: no photos allowed."
