Located 107 km from Cancun, along the Mayan Riviera, just 16 km

before the Mayan Ruins of Tulum and 4 km past Akumal, you find

"Aktun Chen", which in mayan means "cave with an underground river

inside". The park has an area of 400 Has (988 acres) of unexplored

Rainforest in which the only thing that has been exploited is the

gum of a local tree called "chicozapote".

Three caves with a "cenote" (underground river) have been discovered in

the park. The main cave is now suitable for an easy walking tour which has been

enhanced with indirect lighting for a better view and enjoyment of the thousands

of stalactites, stalagmites and natural sculptures, all of them formed by water and

calcium carbonate throughout five million years.
