Grutas de Calcehtok

Posted By : martinflores/ 165 0

In this cave, also known as X-Pukil, you can see vaults up to 3o meters where you can see stalactites and stalagmites among various calcareous forms, which make a complicated system of tunnels and passages

In its interior has been Mayan ceramics, human and deer bones, red plates, striped pots, molcajetes, arrowheads and haltunes, which are structures built by the Mayans to contain water. When trying to build a well near these grottos, a stone carved in the shape of a deer head was found and in agreement they gave this place Calcehtok, which means “Throat deer of flint”.

It has an extension of 5 kilometers in which you can travel its narrow tunnels, climb with ropes, slide between dark and muddy areas, and observe the natural wonders and treasures of Mayan pottery that they keep.
