The name in Maya means "Flower of Stone". The trail begins at the entrance to Nahkab or the beehive, where the famous bas-relief known as the "warrior of Loltun" is found. The warrior, believed to be the god of the underworld, appears to be emerging from the caves. At the entrance, stone blocks used for grinding vegetable grains attest to the activity which took place sheltered within its walls.

Visitors can admire many other formations with imaginative names: "The Cathedral," "The Gallery of the Canyon," "The Ear of Corn," "The Stalactite Room," to name a few. There is also the "Room of the Musical Columns" where huge stalactites produce different tones when they are struck. Labna, Sayil, Kabah and the Caves of Loltun are a great additions when visiting Uxmal. To fully enjoy the Puuc region consider spending a couple of nights at The Hacienda Uxmal or the Lodge at Uxmal.
