Street parking at the entrance of the Sotano de las Huahuas. As described at the point of at the cave it is save to sleep here and easy to park. It is quiet at night and you can enter the park from 5 o’clock onwards to see the swifts leave the cave. Easy 30 min walk to the entrance of the cave.

We arrived at night, a bit late to check out the birds coming back to the cave but we asked at the entrance to sleep in the parking lot and it was okay and free (some areas more level than others). We wanted to check the birds early morning but it was raining and the birds to go out when it is not sunny...we waited until the worker told us to go (no guide needed). It was about 30 minutes walk, up the stone steps in the jungle and we got to see a few parrots coming up, which was already pretty cool. The entrance was 100 pesos per person. They also sell coffee and vanilla inside the entrance. The night was a bit noisy due to being next to the road.
Report Check-Inwow. we watched them come home. parakeets first and then the white collared Swifts by the thousands diving into the cave. It took us an hour to walk in on slippery uneven rock walkway. Not as easy as some youngster reported. Worth seeing. Chance of a lifetime.
Camping: yes, they have a very cool tent set up down below.
we stayed on the street. could pull off very nicely. gravel. okay for the night. not level. fairly quiet for a MX village.
