Other Maya archaeological sites in the vicinity are Cahal Pech, Chaa Creek, El Pilar, Xunantunich, and Midnight Terror Cave.
The Belize Tourism Board, in coordination with the Belize National Institute of Culture and History, Institute of Archaeology, has granted licenses to a small group of agents to conduct tours to this cave, in an attempt to balance its protection against tourist revenue.
A series of upper prehistoric passages continues another mile past the sump through massive breakdown boulders and giant rooms.
The cave can be exited through a tight squeeze ending in a giant sink hole collapse in the jungle.
In late May 2012, a tourist accidentally dropped a camera and fractured a human skull estimated to be over one thousand years old.
