MENDEZ-PEREZ, Marceal. Notions about the Caves in the Tseltal Language and Worldview. LiminaR [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.1, pp.77-91. ISSN 2007-8900.

In this text we study some notions about the caves among the tseltales of Chiapas, wich only in tseltal language seems to make sense. These notions allow us to know and understand other important functions of the cave as entrance to within the earth and the mountains, to the place called Underworld.
