Loltun Cave

The cave contains paintings attributed to the Maya civilization from the Late Preclassic Era or even older.

Inside Loltún there is evidence that confirms human occupation such as recovered bones of mammoth, bison, cats, and deer remains from the pleistocene.

The tour offers visits to the galleries and natural formations known locally as the room of musical columns, a vault known as the cathedral, jaltunes, Grand Canyon, corn cob, the infant, black hand paintings, the room of stalactites and trenches.

The Huechil cavity was excavated where they found remains of extinct fauna such as mammoth bones and vegetation different from today.

The occupation in Loltún goes back more than 10,000 years and served as a hiding place during the caste war.
