an hour and twenty minutes drive will take us to the parking lot. your experienced guide leads your group on an easy 45-minute hike to the cave. Walk along the bank of the Roaring River, which you’ll cross three times before arriving at the cave entrance. To prepare your group to enter the cave, your guide provides a historical overview and safety briefing. The water passage allows you to splash and play as you wade through the water, which may come up to your ankles, knees, waist, and even neck—sometimes requiring you to swim. At one point, you’ll climb up to a ledge to enter one of the most attractive parts of the cave, where archeologists have recorded more than 1,000 pieces of pottery and 19 human sacrifices. To explore this chamber, you must remove your shoes to protect the natural surroundings, including impressive formations like rock columns, stalactites, stalagmites, citrines, and flowstones. your guide will share fascinating details about ancient Mayan rituals and ceremonies that once occurred deep under the earth.

5.00Pickup was on time and our guide Gliss was kind and very informative. He helped us along and explained so many things. The cave itself was really cool and learning about the Mayan culture was interesting. I wish we could take cameras or the guides could have taken pictures for us but cameras are banned. It did require a certain level of fitness so be Miguel of that since we were scrambling up and down rocks, swimming and crawling through tight crevices.
This was a great...

5.00we were off to a bad start due to our driver being late by nearly 40 mins. I had already dropped the maximum rating I was going to give to 4 stars. Fortunately, that’s where the bad ends and the amazing begins. Our tour guide Fernando was extremely knowledgeable and humorous. With his expertise, we swam, climbed and explored the cave with our small group. It was truly an adventure that intrigued the archaeological side in me. The journey itself was a bit challenging but it’s manageable. At the end of it, exhausted and hungry we got to enjoy a delicious and tender meal that was much needed. Our whole group was satisfied and recommends the trip to anyone seeking adventure
Totally worth it

5.00After pick up we drove for half an hour to starting point. We were given helmet and life vest and a bottle of water. Water shoes are ok for the tour, with mandatory socks. We had to walk for a mile and crossed 3 rivers (walking, no swim). Our guide Rafael is an archeologist and told us about the place. Reaching the start of the cave, we had to swim for a minute. The caves are amazing but the way is tough, but doable. When you reaching the dry chamber, the place is filled with ceramic and you can see mayas have lived there. You get to see skeletons with a very conserved one at the end of the chamber. Super recommend!
