It is located 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Benque at the start of the Maya Mountains of Belize.

This cave contains many ancient Mayan artifacts so it is heavily protected to ensure the preservation of these items so visitors are only allowed to enter when escorted by a tour guide.

This cave was first discovered in 1989 by a local farmer, William Morales, while he was hunting with his dog.

After Morales entered the cave he stumbled across hundreds of pottery vessels and other untouched artifacts left behind by the Mayans.

Also, there are many chambers found high up within the cave which contain many large pottery vessels which may have been used to collect 'pure water' to be used for their rituals.
