Fun adventure very close to Flores Island. 50qz per person eachway from the island via tuktuk. We did the long tour with guide. Was 45qz for entrance to caves per person (tourist rate) then another fee for guide (can't recall but I think 45qz per person again). Lots of fun. You get messy as there's mud on the cave floor which is slick. For this tour you need to crawl on your stomach/hands knees through some very short sections (maybe 2meters max for stomach/squeeze sections). Lots of bat's, stalactites, stalagmites and other cool formations. Wear good shoes/sandals with back strap at minimum. Helmet and headlamp provided pants may be an idea. Our guide was unfortunately only Spanish speaking but still got many points across for our group who had little working Spanish. It was hotter than I expected as it's very humid with no airflow. But still very tolerable.

Loved the experience of walking through these caves observing the stalagmites, stalagtites and bats. They have a short tour which doesnt need a guide, anda longer adventure tour that does. The prices are approx 10 qtz to get there from flores and 10 to come back, 35 qtz for the short tour of 30 min which has a max of 1 hour exploration, 45qtz for the long tour which is more adventurous and lasts 1h30 min. This includes a helmet and flashlight. However its another 40 qtz per person for the tour guide. If you sit anywhere in the caves turn your flashlight off and listen you can hear a symphony of water drops dripping mixed with the bats flying and chatting around the cave. If you want to walk back its approx 45 min to 1 hour back to flores, but there are also tuktuk's that you can flag down. All in all a wonderful experience.

excellent experience 👌 we did the full tour with a guide and loved it (45Q for park entrance fee + 90Q for guide - definitely get the guide). if you are not in good shape, the caves will be difficult. you can try the half hike if you are not in good shape. definitely bring hiking boots and get ready for your clothes to be dirty / muddy afterwards. backpackers will love the full hike experience as it will be easy yet fun. you get to go on your hands and knees through tiny caves. you’ll see lots of bats too. they provide helmets and head lamps. just take a Tuk Tuk 🛺 from Flores and your driver should know how to facilitate everything, also ask him to pick you up at the end. Tours are in Spanish only, so download the Google Translate Spanish pack in advance for the best experience.

Es una experiencia única. Son cuevas de piedra caliza con estalactitas y estalagmitas. Se filtra humedad; hay pequeñas gotas. El suelo cuando es roca es resbaloso y también hay zonas de barro. Hay dos recorridos el corto y el largo. En ambos se llega a la oscuridad total. El recorrido corto está muy bien señalizado, pero es bueno ir con guía para que te muestre las figuras que se ven. El recorrido largo es una tremenda aventura y es obligatorio ir con guía, el cual se paga aparte (hay que negociar con él). Hay zonas que se pasan gateando y otras definitivamente acostado, pecho en tierra (o en barro por la humedad). En el recorrido largo sí o sí te encontrarás con muchos murciélagos y cucarachas. Los murciélagos no atacan, sólo como uno va con linterna, "se asustan', entonces vuelan y pasan muy, muy cerca; tanto que se siente cómo mueven el aire. Recomiendo ir con zapatillas o zapatos de trecking, y pantalones. Si hacen el recorrido largo es buena opción llevar ropa de cambio. Todo el recorrido es bajo tierra. En octubre 2024 la entrada es 35Q el recorrido corto y 45Q el largo más lo q negocies para el guía en este último. Te pasan casco con linterna. Se puede llegar caminando o en tuc tuc. Si el tuc tuc cobra hasta 40Q ida y regreso está bien. No es recomendable para personas claustrofóbicas. Quienes hacen el recorrido largo, no serán la misma persona cuando salgan. Es una experiencia extrema, pero apta para adolescentes y adultos y adultos mayores que estimen que poseen la condición física necesaria. Adentro hay un momento en que el aire se hace denso pero siempre hay aire. La sensación es similar a subir una montaña sobre los 3.000 m.

If you like to explore the beauty of the nature, if you like to see caves, get a little dirty then come here, you will enjoy it, it's a beautiful experience, 2 main tours the short and long, you will need a guide for the long one, Q25 each person for the short one, and Q35 for the long plus the guide +Q25, in the short one you leave at the same entrance, in the long one you exit at other point apart from the entrance. Great experience not far from Flores Island. For both prices includes a Helmet ⛑️ and a light, no need to pay extra.

This cave is absolutely amazing. For the price of entry this is a must see when in Languin to visit Semuc Champey. I might go so far as to say that the highlight of this region is the exodus of bats occurring every day around 6:30 from within this cave. Millions of bats, a stunning natural display as one can rarely experience. Go here, and have respect for the cave and its natural inhabitants. You can go without a guide, but the floor is very slippery inside the caves.
