Chevé Cave, Cave system in Sierra Juárez mountains, Mexico.
The cave extends through 55 miles of mapped passageways, reaching depths of 1,529 meters beneath the mountain range of Oaxaca state.
Bill Farr and Carol Vesely discovered the cave entrance during the mid-1980s, leading to continuous explorations and mapping missions over subsequent decades.
Archaeological teams located jade beads, wooden masks, and obsidian blades within the cave chambers, indicating ceremonial practices of pre-Hispanic Cuicatec people.
Reaching the cave requires navigation through mountain roads from Concepción Pápalo, followed by specific terrain markers leading to the entrance.
The main entrance chamber measures 70 meters in width, 30 meters in height, and extends 200 meters into the mountain.
