LANQUIN CAVES

The Lanquín Caves were declared a National Park on May 26, 1955. Inside the cave, you’ll find karst formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and rock figures that — thanks to the phenomenon of pareidolia — seem to take shape through imagination. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes, following pathways with stairs and some slippery sections. After 6:00 PM, the lights are turned off to witness the impressive emergence of thousands of bats. The Lanquín River is born inside the cave, offering unique views both at the entrance and in small cenote-like pools within the cavern.
