Grutas de Coconá
A limestone cave outside the town of Teapa, with chambers full of stalactites and an underground lake, along a path about 500 metres long.
Cocona Caves are in Teapa, about 50 kilometres south of Villahermosa. They were discovered in 1876. The cave path is about 500 metres long and passes through several chambers full of stalactites and stalagmites. At the deepest point is a small underground lake. The lighting works well, and there is a small archaeological hall showing prehistoric artifacts found in the cave. Admission is about 60 pesos, and a visit takes about one hour. Outside the cave there is a swimming pool and a restaurant. It can be combined with the sulphur hot springs near Teapa for a half-day trip.
