Cavernes de Tulum, Ancient cave system in Tulum Municipality, Mexico.
The limestone cave network extends throughout the Tulum region with interconnected chambers filled with clear freshwater at constant temperatures.
Archaeological excavations in the caves revealed four human skeletons from the Late Pleistocene period, including the Naharon woman dated to 14,500 years ago.
The underground chambers served Maya communities as water sources and ceremonial spaces, connecting their beliefs with the natural environment.
Certified guides lead exploration tours through designated cave sections, providing essential safety equipment and geological information to visitors.
The cave system contains mineral formations developed over thousands of years, with stalactites and stalagmites marking ancient water levels.
