Underground River Chontalcoatlan

To find out what it feels like to walk under the ground and get to know the Chontacoatlán underground river that enters the total darkness of a cave, we offer you this adventure excursion. In it, we will head towards the Cacahuamilpa grottos and, upon arrival, we will walk to the Skylight, from where it is possible to observe the imposing magnitude of the cave.

there, we will rappel to enter the cave. Once inside the cave, we will walk a great stretch of this black body that, when illuminated, exposes its unique formations, originating thousands of years ago. The extraordinary thing about these formations is that they are constantly growing and, being formed by crystals They glow when you light them up.

Upon leaving the cave, we will enjoy a delicious local meal at the Cacahuamilpa Market.
