• Tienda La Cobanerita - There are both long and short tours available to explore the Cobanerita Caves. The choice between the two will depend on the group’s physical condition and the expert recommendation of the local guide.

Upon arrival at La Cobanerita, a 400-meter walk leads to the first cave, “Cueva de las Pinturas” or the Cave of the Paintings. This cave is named for its ancient red, black, and yellow paintings, dating back centuries. These caves are considered sacred by the native Mayan communities and are believed to be entrances to the underworld.

• Tienda La Cobanerita - OWL CAVE: Next, we proceed to the following cave. This area features a set of six caves known as “Cuevas de la Cobanerita.” They include Cueva de las Pinturas, Cueva del Tecolote, Cueva del Mono, and Cuevas del Sapo, translated as the Cave of the Paintings, the Owl Cave, the Monkey Cave, and the Toad Cave.

Each cave is named after something unique within it, such as ancient Mayan paintings, resident owls, a rock formation resembling a monkey, and a toad figure.

Some cave sections are narrow, so it’s advisable to avoid large backpacks and wear comfortable clothing, like jeans, to prevent scraping if bending is necessary.

This visit includes two caves: The Paintings Cave and the Owl Cave, followed by a visit to a viewpoint 100 meters above Petén Itza Lake. Have your camera ready and savor every moment!

• San Benito - After exploring the caves and viewpoint, a local meal awaits, surrounded by nature, forest, and fresh air. It’s a perfect opportunity to recharge before heading to the next magical destination, The Beach of El Chechenal.
