One of the world's largest cave systems, Parque Nacional Grutas de Cacahuamilpa features 20 underground spaces for exploration, plus another seventy as-yet unexplored. A central gallery connects large salons with a height that ranges from 20 to 81 m (65 to 265 feet). The history of the caves dates back to the pre-Hispanic era. Join one of the two-hour organized tours, or hire a local guide. If you go by yourself, bring a flashlight. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes for the 4 km (2 mi) return journey, which follows a slippery path. You don't have to wear warm clothes because of the cave's pleasant temperature.

  • The caverns are indeed beautiful and impressive. They’re worth a trip. It’s around 2.5 km of walking including two somewhat steep ascents on steps carved from rock. Our research told us to expect...

  • Amazing natural caves with a 2km walking tour of two hours (1 km each way). The entrance fee is 100 mxn per person with additional cost for restrooms found both at the entrance of the park and midway through the caves. During the tour the guide will be explaining details and sharing interesting rock formations. The tour is through a well laid paved path without any significant climbing needed (the few areas have paved steps to go up). - Note that tourist must stay on the path at all times. Overall a great experience and the reason for the 4 stars is the tour group size (probably over 100 people) which means it will be hard to listen to everything the guide says. - Note that private tours are available.
  • Pictures do it no justice to this place. You will pay about 600 Mexican pesos on tolls if you decide to drive from México City to the caves. Plus another 100 pesos ~ $5.42 USD for the entrante and ~ $3.00 USD to park.
