Description:
This impressive southeast facing entrance is situated above and to the west of Ochochpec cave. It is a low opening in the base of a cliff .

From the entrance the passage leads down dip at approx 15 degrees for 60meters to form a
large chamber with evidence of Maya occupation clearly visible in the form of many broken
pots.

.At 60 meters a small side passage goes off on the left to rejoin the main passage after a short distance thus forming a loop. The main route forward ascends a steep slope with a little scrambling over old dry dams formed by a deposit of flowstone in past times to arrive at the final choke after 40 meters.
