Balankanche (also Balancanche, Balaamcanche, Balaancanche) is an ancient

Tlaloc. The cave complex was visited by Edward Thompson and Alfred Tozzer

in 1905 and has since 1932 been explored and studied by various Mexican and US scholars. Small buildings and platforms surrounded the cave's entrance; inside, stairs, walls, altars and ritual displays of ceramics (especially censers) and small stone implements were discovered. The site has been made accessible for tourists.
