Overview

Archaeotours are envisioned by Dr. Rafael Guerra as a way to enhance the visitor’s experience beyond the mainstream tour information. Dr. Guerra is the only tour guide who is also a professional archaeologist. This tour offers a chance to engage with a local archaeologist who has extensive research and exploration experience at Belizean archaeological sites, and learn more about the archaeological processes of archaeological knowledge building. Dr. Guerra started his archaeological career at Actun Tunichil Muknal in 1998 with the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project directed by Jaime Awe. In 2001, he joined the Belize Tourism Development Project (TDP) that was developing several major sites in Belize. Late in 2005, he joined the Belize Institute of Archaeology, where he helped develop a multivariate database for Belize’s Archaeological sites. In 2021, he completed his Ph.D. in Anthropology, focusing on the Maya of Belize at the University of New Mexico

Activity itinerary

San Ignacio (Pass by)
Departing San Ignacio Town at 8:00 am with an hour drive to the Actun Tunichil Muknal National Park. San Ignacio town was originally named El Cayo by the Spanish. On 19 October 1904, El Cayo was officially declared a town by the government of British Honduras. In the past, a creek ran between the Macal and the Mopan rivers, one mile outside of San Ignacio, going towards Benque Viejo. Enjoy the picturesque ride while passing the different local communities and observing multicultural people in their daily lives. We can see Mennonite people riding their horse and buggy, and a different architectural house.
Teakettle (Pass by)
Teakettle Village in Belize's Cayo District was founded by British settlers in the 1800s, likely named after local teak wood, and is a mix of Creole, Mestizo, and Mayan cultures. The village is near the Belize River and is significant for its proximity to Maya archaeological sites, such as the famous Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave. While its economy is based on agriculture, recent tourism infrastructure improvements, including an ATM Facilitation Centre, mark a focus on developing its tourism potential.
Actun Tunichil Muknal
  • 5h
  • Admission ticket included
Archaeotours at Actun Tunichil Muknal activities were envisioned by Dr. Rafael Guerra as a way to enhance the visitor’s experience beyond the mainstream tour information. Dr. Guerra is the only tour guide who is also a professional archaeologist. These expeditions came from the realisation that a percentage of the tourist population wants a bit more than just the Cacoethes loquendi of tours. This type of activity allows visitors to enquire more about the archaeological processes in the cave of archaeological knowledge building. We start our adventure with a 35-minute hike through the forest, crossing the Roaring River 3 times to get to the cave entrance. While hiking through the Jungle, Dr Rafael Guerra would explain local usage of the pants or start explaining about the general history of the Mayas. Before entering the cave, Dr. Rafael will go over the Safety of caving, instructions on how to use your equipment.
