Siete Bocas

Also known as: 7 Bocas

On sunny days the seven openings send strong beams into the cavern. The chamber is shaped like a jar, wider at the bottom than at the top, and small bell-like biothems grow where the wall meets the cloud. Between 15 and 20 m the rock holds fossil shells and coral imprints, and stalactites up to about 5 m long hang from the ceiling. On the way back the line passes under the other mouths with Maya cichlids, catfish and mollies.
