Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

ATM's new facilities and bathrooms, a much needed upgrade for ATM, are ready for use.  

"The cave system was discovered in 1989 and opened to the public in 1998, with current visitation restricted to specific tour operators.  The ticket office is several hundred yards before the car park within a joint station with Belize Audubon Society presence for managing Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve.  NICH has recently purchased 5 acres of land at the entrance to the cave.  There are plans by Institute of Archaeology to move the ranger station to the area at the gateway to the cave and the site of the new bathrooms...  The ATM site is the most documented archaeological site in the country in terms of media coverage (past features on ABC, BBC, National Geographic, and the Travel Channel) and is a unique selling point for Belize internationally."
