El Biotopo Cerro Cahui

El Remate is said to be under the protection of El Cahui, the Mystical Mayan Crocodile. The area is a plant and wildlife preserve, and there are a couple of self-guided hikes up through the jungle and over ancient Mayan ruins to the top where there is a fantastic view! Hotel El Gringo Perdido is the only hotel in the biotopo, and is located lakeside, just under where the eye of the crocodile would be, about 3 km. from the turn off (around the lake) in the center of the village.
