Mouth Maze Cave

Mouth Maze Cave is a large, labyrinthine river cave in Trelawny, Jamaica. It is the only exit of the Mouth River from a small valley which, during intense rainfall, becomes flooded as the flow backs up. Because of this it can only safely be visited in very dry periods.

Natural history

The cave contains many invertebrates including, post hurricane Ivan, a termite nest.
