A few meters northeast above Ochochpec cave is another large entrance, which descends down
over easy boulders into a flat sandy passage.

The cave continues parallel with the escarpment to emerge on a ledge some 20m high, 75m from the entrance. There is a small sub-chamber, which is gained via a short climb
in the North wall a short way from the entrance . There is evidence of Mayan occupation as a
small number of broken pots were found in the sand. The total length of the cave is 75m.
