Sistema Nohoch Nah Chich (from Spanish and Yucatec Maya meaning "Giant Birdcage System"), is located 16.5 kilometers (10.3 mi) south of Akumal in Tulum Municipality of Quintana Roo state, southeastern Mexico.
The explored cave system extends to approximately 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) inland from the coast.
[1] For more than ten years the system was extensively explored by dedicated cave divers starting from Cenote Nohoch Nah Chich.
During the Nohoch 1997 expedition, the 60 kilometers (37 mi) of total explored cave passage mark was surpassed.
In early 2007, Nohoch Nah Chich included 36 cenotes and had a recorded length of 67 kilometers (42 mi), when it was connected to, and subsumed into the 14 kilometers (8.7 mi) longer Sistema Sac Actun by the Sac Actun Exploration Team (SAET).
