If you are interested in ethnobotany, Biotopo Cerro Cahai is a place with lots of different plants. For example, we found many edible cauliflorous fruits of Parmentiera aculeata, cuajilote. This tree fruits and flowers directly from the trunk. The flowers are similar size and unusual shape as the cauliflorous flowers of Crescentia cujete (jicara) and Crescentia alata (morro).
We include a list of 27 species of wild plants native to this part of the Reserva de la Biosfera Maya that are edible.
This report has one of our user-friendly maps to show you where Biotopo Cero Cahui is located and thus how you can easily get here.
