Best known as ATM Cave, is THE Cave to visit when in Belize. The ATM cave rivals some of the world’s top historical, spiritual and sacrificial caves out there. We can book the ATM Cave tour for you here at the hostel before 7pm the day before you would like to go. We ask for a 50USD nonrefundable deposit at the time of booking. We book with a company called Bird Trekking Belize which is owned and operated by one of the most highly rated guides, Emil.
You and the rest of the small group start the day by hiking in the rainforest for 45 minutes until you reach the entrance of the cave. You will spend around 3 hours inside the cave where you can see Mayan artifacts, pottery and even crystalized skeletons while either swimming or walking depending on the depth of the water. Once you are out of the cave, you will stop for a lunch break before heading back.
Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve is a nature reserve that was established to protect and manage the native Belizean pine forests. This area offers many different hikes, sites and rivers such as Rio Frio Cave, Big Rock Falls, Rio On Pools, and 1,000 Foot Falls. There is no public transportation to Pine Ridge, we recommend renting a vehicle or asking your host to see if we can arrange a tour.

As the oldest Mayan site of the Belize River Valley and the closest Mayan ruins from the hostel. It goes without saying that this temple is a must see while in San Ignacio. Our recommendation is to take a short 15-minute walk to see this temple and its shady canopy. Be sure to check out the museum for more information.
This Ancient Mayan archaeological site located 15 minutes bus ride from the hostel. Its name means Stone Woman in Mayan language in reference to a ghost who would appear in the site and go back into a wall of stone. Its monument called El Castillo is the second tallest structure in Belize. FYI you can climb to the top of this temple.
The largest known Mayan site in Belize and a showstopper when it comes to being emersed in the jungle. The drive there will take you through the Pineridge Forest Reserve into the Chiquibul Forest Reserve where this site is located. The drive is around 2.5 hours from San Ignacio. There is not public transportation to Caracol, we recommend renting a vehicle or getting a tour.
