Cuevas de B'omb'il Pek

The B'omb'il Pek cave system extends across 300 square meters, featuring underground chambers with stalactites, stalagmites, and ancient rock paintings.

French explorer Daniel Dreux discovered the cave system in the 1970s, and it remained closed to visitors until its public opening in 2002.

The name B'omb'il originates from Q'eqchi' language, translating to Painted Cave, referencing the early Guatemalan rock art depicting jaguars and monkeys.

Visitors need to complete a 40-minute walk on a marked path to reach the caves, followed by 30 minutes of exploration in each cave section.

The entrance requires descending through a chasm formed by a cave collapse, with visitors choosing between a steep wooden ladder or an 80-meter rappel.
