Cave Explorations

These caves served as shelter for the Mayan people during the ‘Caste War’. Besides stalactites and stalagmites whose weird formations remind us of familiar patterns of animals and plants.The Calcehtok caverns also known as "Aktun Spukil", are considered along with the Lol-tun caverns, among the biggest in the Yucatan Peninsula and have a very complicated tunnels system. Abundance of pre-hispanic materials is found in all the cavern; intact vessels, and unexplored chambers are still waiting to be discovered to add more knowledge of the Mayan culture.

Arqueologists have found bones of deer and from other animals, ceramics, quartzite hammers, arrowheads, human graves, etc. some vessels that were used by the mayans to collect the filtered water of the ceilings are completely petrified.
