Museum of Belize - Built in the 1800’s as a prison and remaining one until 1993, the building that houses the Museum of Belize was renovated with several cells being restored as exhibits, complete with a cat o’ nine tails and chain balls. As well as prison exhibits, the museum displays different aspects of the country’s history including Mayan and colonial history and its association with pirates and buccaneers.
ATM Cave At Caves Branch – Actun Tunichil Muknal Known as ATM cave, this is a unique river that runs through karst foothills adjoining the Maya Mountains. After running underground, these waters cross 30 miles of tropical rainforest before joining the Sibun River. A one day river run takes you through numerous caves, some as long as 2 miles and offers experiences that no theme park can ever truly rival.
