Following a solemn candlelight procession, La Pesca participants crowd inside the cave’s entrance to harvest small fish. People usually stay near the entrance, where the cave’s poisonous gas levels are diluted and less toxic.
The cave is sacred to the indigenous Zoque, descendants of the Olmec, who blended their ancient faith with Catholicism.
