Volcano of the bats

Posted By : martinflores/ 281 0

In the peninsula of Yucatan we can enjoy a beautiful nature and fauna, and some unique natural phenomena. In Calakmul there is one of them: you can see millions of bats coming out of a cave, an incredible experience.

  • The entrance known as Volcán de los Murciélagos is located 8 km from the town of Conhuás. At km 106 of the federal road 186 Escárcega-Chetumal,
  • When to go? At dusk, depending on the time of summer or winter changes from 5 in the afternoon to 8. But always at sunset, about 30 minutes before.
  • Access: The cave is signposted on the road with a bat signal. There is a small entrance for 8 cars maximum. Sometimes they park on the road. The cave is about 200 meters along a path. So easy traveler!
  • Cost: no cost. Standards have varied, may change.
  • How to get there by public transport? A Conhuás (8 km), the nearest village to the cave of the bats, arrives collectively from Escárcega and Xpuhil. To Xpuhil, the largest large village nearby comes public transport from Escárcega (2 hours), Chetumal (1’40 “h) and Campeche (4’30” h).
  • From Xpuhil and Conhuás there is private taxi service to the cave.
  • Light and light clothing, insect repellent and closed shoes are recommended (you are in the jungle and there are many bugs, protect yourself).
