Adolfo Lopez Mateos, Chiapas
Around the small village of Adolfo Lopez Mateos there are several interesting caves, the largest and most interesting is the one called Cueva Ejidal, sometimes also referred as Cueva Osman. Although technically different caves, these two river caves are connected in one cave system.
Access is arranged directly with landowner Bartolo in town, a negotiated toll rather than an official permit, and only he or his sons guide visitors through the lower section. If recent rains have pushed up the river, that lower level runs hard: one exploring team had a member partially swallowed by a siphon at high water, so choose your connecting drop between levels with care since some need full vertical gear and others just a handline.
