After passing through several of the local towns and driving up into the lush primary growth jungle of the Vaca Plateau, you will reach Chechem Ha Cave, which means "Cave of the Poisonwood."

This cave, which was discovered by the local land owners and their dog a number of years ago, is a Mayan burial cave with artifacts that date back two millennia. A variety of ancient pots and a stela used for ceremonial purposes can be viewed up close, and visitors are surprised by the end of the cave which opens up into a cathedral-like cavern where Mayan ceremonies were once held.
