It's really fun walking through the cave while lots of bats fly around you. Also there are interesting cave drawings, some supposedly very old and painted by Mayans, worth seeing. More

A nice self guided tour (they give you a list of features). You can take as long as you want . Several interesting items include large termite hives, local natural vegetation and of course the caves(including several bats) More
