Antonio Morales discovered the Che Chem Ha cave on his property in 1999. What appeared to be a rock wall was actually a mouth to an 820ft/250m long cave containing 96 Mayan artifacts. Excavation of the cave has revealed that the Maya used the cave for storing food and rituals.
Narrow passages lead past ceremonial pots to a stela (pillar monument) and the end of the tunnel. Tours are led by Antonio's son David Morales. The Morales family has owned this farmland since the 1940s. The lush surroundings feature several waterfalls and creeks to hike through. The nearby Vaca Falls offers river swimming.
