Cacahuamilpa is considered the largest system of “living” caves not only in Mexico, but throughout the world.
The grotto was discovered in 1834, and in 1936 the area, including the caves, was declared a national park.
The caves are formed by limestone rocks of marine origin, formed approximately 85 million years ago. Probably, they were washed by the flow of the San Jeronimo River, which now flows under the caves at a depth of 95 meters.
The caves (for now discovered more than 100)cover an area of 2,700 hectares and are about 70 km long, the height of arches is up to 80 meters. And to date, a little more than twenty grottoes have been studied and open to the public.
