Chechem Ha Cave

Chechem Ha was used by the Maya for their
blood letting rituals ....

Chechem Ha Cave was used by the Maya as a  storehouse for grain as well as a ceremonial centre for their after-life, blood letting rituals. The different levels of the cave contain numerous pristine artifacts, including large pottery vessels, some with paintings and other distinct markings. One of the chambers contains artifacts used in performing their ritualized ceremonies.

Some climbing and footwork required to negotiate the ropes and ladders. Tour lasts about 90 minutes.

 

Chechem Ha (Half Day)

From San Ignacio it's a scenic twenty five minute drive into the Vaca plateau area and then a 20 minute hike up the mountain side to the cave's entrance.

A fair level of physical fitness is required. Casual clothing and hiking boots are the norm.

Enjoy a cool, refreshing swim at Chechem Hah Falls, less then 5 minutes walking distance from the entrance.

You can explore Chechem Ha Cave as part of a personalized
"Create Your Own" CAYO Vacation Package.

Chechem-Hah cave is more than a half day, however you can still combine this excursion with a few 1/2 day tours, such as visiting the Maya archeological site of Xunantunich, Macal River Canoeing or enjoying 1-2 hours of horseback riding.
