Actun Tunichil Muknal Classic Article | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

This is a classic review of ATM.  Great for the pictures, of which new ones are few and far between now, and the story, which has a well written postscript about how the experience wouldn't be the same anywhere else.  Pacz gets an honorable mention, as do Patrick Warrior and Carlos Panti.

 

"In other, more 'developed' countries, a comfortable dry tunnel would no doubt have been blasted through from the 'show caves' to the Visitors Centre and they'd be putting a thousand visitors a day through here along roped walkways to look at what remained of the artifacts after the museums had taken their cut.  Of course, that would make the visit more comfortable and accessible but you'd miss out on a wonderful life enhancing adventure and the sense of awe and mystery that touched us would feel somewhat 'canned' if you felt it at all."
