Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico is an amazing place to visit, where you can explore a sprawling desert area dotted with over 100 very impressive natural caves.

You can find out all about the activities and attractions of the park at the visitors center, where you can also watch an orientation video, have a snack at the café, and browse in the shop.

Visitors can tour the two largest and most impressive chambers on self-guided tours or sign up for a ranger-guided tour, which will give you guided access to several other smaller caves.

If you visit during the summer, you can join one of the rangers on the fascinating Bat Flight Program.
