| description | In the municipality of Chimichagua, Cesar, there is a system of natural caves associated with carbonate sedimentary rocks, which have suffered chemical dissolution and mechanical erosion generating exokarstic and endokarstic processes, which explain the geochemical and morphological phenomena that have given rise to these cavities. This study presents the results of a speleological work performed to the cavern of the Eccehomo Hill, located in the municipality of Chimichagua department of Cesar, concluding that the lithostratigraphic units outside and inside of the cavities are micritic and micritic limestones with fossils that according to the classification of Folk (1974), belong to the Formation Aguas Blancas, of the Cogollo Group. The cavities possess throughout their extension, variety of speleothems, endokarstic process products such as stalactites, moonmilk, castings, flags, sawtooth, found in the walls and ceiling. |

This study presents the results of a speleological work performed to the cavern of the Eccehomo Hill, located in the municipality of Chimichagua department of Cesar, concluding that the lithostratigraphic units outside and inside of the cavities are micritic and micritic limestones with fossils that according to the classification of Folk (1974), belong to the Formation Aguas Blancas, of the Cogollo Group.

En el municipio de Chimichagua, departamento del Cesar, existe un sistema de cavernas naturales asociadas a rocas sedimentarias carbonatadas, que han sufrido disolución química y erosión mecánica, generando procesos exocársticos y endocársticos, que explican los fenómenos geoquímicos y morfológicos que han dado origen a estas cavidades. En este estudio se presentan los resultados de un trabajo espeleológico realizado a la caverna del cerro Ecce homo ubicado en el municipio de Chimichagua, departamento del Cesar. Se concluyó que las unidades litoestragráficas presentes en el exterior e interior de las cavidades son calizas micríticas con fósiles que, según la clasificación de Folk (1974), pertenecen a la Formación Aguas Blancas del Grupo Cogollo. Las cavidades poseen en toda su extensión variedades de espeleotemas productos de procesos endocársticos como son las estalactitas, leche de luna (moonmilk), coladas, banderas, dientes de sierra, que se encuentran en sus paredes y techo.
