...or commercially called "ATM" is a cave where Mayas sacrificed humans and where the human remains are still in original locations. And that's the entrance to this cave
Belize was quite a contrast to Guatemala. Within no time you travel from a Latin American country to a very Caribbean style place. With not too much time on my hands I had to pick and choose where to go. After a few days in San Ignacio I headed to the coast to explore the cayes and reefs from a Raggamuffin sailing boat. My camera is not water proof so all the nurse sharks, sea turtles and stingrays only remain in my memory. But the tropical islands are quite nice, too 😊. After a few hot days (and sunburns) the rains caught up with us and we had quite rough sailing conditions. But I have probably not been out sailing enough to know how bad it can be....
