The Grotto of the Frog God Ceneotl

An underwater grotto accessible only at low tide… 

An ancient statue of a giant frog once worshipped by a lost civilization…

If spelunking is your thing, or if you have even a passing interest in pre-Colombian Mesoamerican history… then this is the place for you!

Enjoy the lush jungle scenery. Dine on local ocean cuisine. Then spend a day of exploration in the Grotto of the Frog God Ceneotl.

Hike the precipitous trail that leads to the grotto's entrance. Inside you'll find a magnificent statue of green malachite tucked away beneath the rocky coast. The glistening amphibian sits, eyes closed, a subtle grin upon its face, as if contemplating the mysteries of the universe. Some believe the statue is a gateway to another dimension. It is written that the lost civilization of Tiwanaku, fleeing persecution, fled using the statue of Ceneotl. 

When Ceneotl opens its sleepy eyes, those who stand beside are drawn inside.

Any bright flash was said to have opened the Frog God's eyes: lightning, the flare of a torch. To this day, photography is strictly prohibited.

So, bring your glowsticks and your sketchpad for a one-of-a-kind experience! 

Please note: you may see an abundance of missing persons posters posted where you stay, many with expensive cameras around their neck. Please ignore. It's all part of the locale's mystique. Enjoy!
