Grottoes Loltún

So...you have to pay $22 MXN to park plus admission and then pay a tax and then at the end of your tour, tip (pay) the required guide $100 MXN per person. Total was around $700 MXN which was about $38.25 in May 2018. Even though it's not a lot, you get the feeling you're being extorted. Anyway, on to the review. Tours are every hour on the hour. We arrived 12 minutes past 3 so instead of parking, we went across the street for a snack and beverages. Food and service were great! Came back over and parked under the shade all the way back and to the right which turned out to be a long walk to the entrance but the closest place to the exit. The cave has a separate entrance and exit. Don't do this tour if you are disabled, have weak ankles, can not climb rocks or many steps. Reconsider doing the tour of you are wearing flip flops, sandals or slippery, non supportive shoes. Although mostly flat, the cave floor is packed dirt that is like a washboard throughout most of the cave. There are also a few parts where you must climb up and down rocks and a few slippery areas, too. The cave exit is up 50+ steps and then a long walk back to the parking lot. We joined a group that included a spanish speaking family of 4, a French couple that spoke English and us, an english speaking couple with some Spanish comprehension. The guide spoke primarily to the Spanish speaking group but would explain a few things on English. The caverns in this cave are huge with large stalagmites and columns. The Maya lives in the cave for many centuries and left traces of their habitation behind. There are quite a few rooms to explore. The highlight of the tour is at the end and made the whole adventure worth it. No spoilers here except my photo, just make sure you have a camera.

amazing caves with lots of history. we had a great english speaking tour guide who gave us very detailed information. recommend going early to avoid the crowds!

Lol-tun is a great place, Grottoes are very amazing is like a 2km walk down the ground in the cave, but don't worry, you will not notice that you walk thet much! You can Google the schedules of the day so you can plan your trip there and don't have to wait for the next tour. The guide is an experience person and tells you all about the history of thousands of years of this place. In the ticket you just paid for the access and always will go a guide, at the end you just have to give a voluntary tip.

The caves itself is pretty good but lottun toursion is putting diffrent colour light inside to mAke it look more attarctive. Ticket cost around 150 mxn each foriegner and around 60 for mexican. The caves are very calm inside and its also cooler than outside. Worst part : Travel guide The travel guide does not have spoken a single english word and still charged me 50 mxn for nothing. When i resisted then he was behaving like it is complusory to pay him. He should learn some ethics. Travel guide that i was with was a thug. The number of person entered inside was minimum 50 and he charged 50 each. 2500 mxn for just an hour tour. Well not justified for me. Dont pay the guide if you dont understand spanish and rest is good. The cave is longer but just first 2 km is open to public.

Amazing place to visit! Not expensive and the tour guide was extremely knowledgable! The tours leave every 30 minutes from 9am through 4pm. Parking onsite has a cost of 22 pesos. Make sure you wear shoes with good grips as it is slippery inside the caves themselves. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Awesome cave with a lot of stalactites and stalagmites. It costs 200 pesos to go on a tour but this does not include your tour guide. Supposedly they work for tips.... I'm all about people making money but our guide suggested a 500 peso tip per family and there were five families.... It's not that he did not do a good job but in a developing country that is more than a lot of people make in two weeks. Just FYI. Enjoy the trip

A huge cavern a nice cool place to visit after the Yucatán heat. I have been here 3 times and I love it! This is one of the places I bring my friends to visit. There are friendly tour guides who will lead you through the cave. There are colored electric lights throughout the cave so a flashlight is not necessary although I always bring one.

Most ancient human footprint in whole mesoamerica, fresh and beautiful grottes, still close due covid but cold be now open, people vas very kind, i recommend to visist this place, no credit card accepted. my visit was on october 2022
