One of the world's largest caves systems is found in Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National Park, where visitors can tour the caves known for their immense caverns that range from 90 to 240 feet high. The Grutas de Cacahuamilpa Caves are still active with stalactites and stalagmites still forming today.

Part of the Sierra Made del Sur, these caves originally formed under the ocean millions of years ago but have been carved out by underground rivers in recent centuries. Guests can only visit the caves by booking a tour; however, visitors can explore on their own after the tour. A bathroom has been installed in the middle of the cave, and there is also an auditorium where musicians have performed.

There is more to do in the park than visit the caves, however. Visitors can also purchase tickets to go rafting, zip-lining, rappelling, and horseback riding. Getting to the National Park from Mexico City takes less than two hours and is accessible via public transportation. Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National Park Map
