Sotano de las Huahuas

Reviewed By cavedodger - Playa del Carmen, Mexico

We ended up here by accident after failing to make reservations at another attraction. The young local guide Isaura was very knowledgeable and knew when to talk and when to just stay quiet and let us enjoy the forest and wildlife. The cave itself is breath-taking and we saw scores of green parrots and swifts darting in and out of the cave to feed their young. It was a hot afternoon which made the walk more challenging but the entire pathway has manmade steps and Isaura allowed multiple rest stops for people to catch their breathe. Will remember this one for years to come.

Sotano De Las Golondrinas

If you are visiting the Swallow’s Cave, you can directly stay at Aquismon, there are budge accommodation around the plaza. Locals told me colectivos pick up passengers to the cave at the plaza (I was lucky to catch a ride with a private vehicle), or you can take a taxi. You can see the swallows coming out or going into the cave at sunrise or sunset. For the morning one most people get there before dawn, but there wasn’t anything really happening till dawn, and it reached the peak a bout 1 hour later. Try to find out which direction is the sunrise and sit there, as millions of swallows will spin like a washing machine up from the cave then fly right over your head towards the sun. Strangely a few occasionally dive back down, so you may get a little bit of the sunset viewing experience. Sunrise one is more of a phenomenon, sunset one is more of a shock, I suppose. There are very nice people offering tourists a free view over the cave while securing them with a rope, please remember to tip them. The road from the town to the cave has been well paved with sighs. You do have to walk down many stairs to that spot, and the first time for that reason I skipped that place, but later I found out it was a easy walk with slowly descending well constructed stairs, only the last 5 minutes was rough, but you can do it really slow. I was told from the plaza there is also transportation to Tamul waterfall (you have to make a transfer somewhere). There are plenty of places you can see another lake, another mountain, or another waterfall, but another place like this cave personally I’ve never heard of.
