Parque Nacional Grutas de Cacahuamilpa

Beautiful experience!! We highly recommend. It makes a good day trip from Puebla. The caves are huge! I have never seen a cave system this large. There were a lot of people but it didn't hurt our trip. We went on a Sunday afternoon.

Best experience ever!! Make sure you bring the right shoes is slippery and a flashlight

Best national park tour available! The tour guides are not only informative and knowledgeable but sprinkle in family friendly humor throughout to keep it interesting. Be prepared though the trek is long but the guides constantly check in with the group to assess the overall stamina and give plenty of heads up as to how much longer the tour lasts. The views of the cavern are breathtaking as the guides really know how to keep you engaged throughout the tour.

A delightful creation of nature, striking in its scale and beauty. A magical place where you feel like you’ve accidentally visited the underground giant kings. With all this, this place is perfectly equipped and even with children, traveling through it is safe and easy. Unfortunately, I simply forgot to buy a permit for “professional filming,” so don’t blame me for the photo...

This is one of the longest limestone cavern I have ever seen. It has been developed very nicely. The lights are helpful for pics and also to render the formations. They have a short zip line at the entrance which is at extra cost. There is also a small food area before entering. Sell coconut for 70 Pesos which is about twice the price compared to regular prices. All in all a great experience

A couple of friends, Héctor & Sara took me here during my trip to Mexico, and I can’t even begin to explain how awe-inspiring this experience was. It’s a two-hour adventure, and you can start off by either zip-lining across the cave entrance or walking across—an incredible way to kick things off! I was absolutely blown away by the sheer size of the caves. Pictures will never do them justice—you truly have to be there in person to appreciate their vastness. It’s 100% worth the drive. The name Cacahuamilpa comes from the Náhuatl language, spoken by one of Mexico’s Indigenous cultures, and it means “fertile peanut planting field.” The area was named for its rich soil, which was ideal for growing peanuts. In pre-Hispanic times, many Indigenous tribes avoided entering the cave system, believing that the rock formations inside were evil spirits. Entering the caves was thought to bring bad luck. The caves’ modern history began in 1834 when a wealthy man from a nearby town hid inside them during a conflict. After returning home, he shared stories of the incredible caves, sparking interest in them. They officially opened to tourists in 1920, and in 1936, the Mexican government declared them a National Park. If you ever have the chance to visit, don’t hesitate—this is an unforgettable experience.

If you are visiting Taxco or anywhere near by (even as a day trip from Mexico City), this is a must!! The caves were enormous, strikingly beautiful and the tour really immersed us in them. We have been travelling around Latin America for months and this was one of the most amazing places we saw. Some info for visiting: The buses leave from Taxco throughout the day, but it’s best going early. It is the bus that goes to Toluca but it stops at Grutas first (about 40 mins from Taxco). You then walk down the road to the park entrance (easy to follow and do). Tickets are 200 pesos per adult with a Spanish guide and tours leave on the hour every hour. Our Spanish isn’t amazing, but the caves are so incredible that you could know no Spanish at all and it wouldn’t detract from the experience. The bus back to Taxco is from the same stop and leaves every hour (we were told the last one is at 8pm so there’s no chance of missing it by the time the park closes). We visited in the week and we were a group of 4 which was great for allowing us to enjoy the caves without any crowds

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: 5/5 Family friendly: 5/5 Stroller friendly: 3/5 I gotta say, i wasn't to sure what to expect from this place since it's out in the middle of nowhere-svillle, but I'm glad I was able to experience this amazing ecological park and cave. We did this on our way Taxco, Guerrero; México. The opens around 10-1030ish and there is a fee to park ($50 MXN, $1 USD). Just be prepared to get swarmed by vendors selling trinkets and what-not. It is the culture here, however I got used to it. To get into the caves there are guided cave tours ($8 USD, $150 MXN per person). Our guide was excellent, she explained the history of explorers and how the cave came to be, the inhabitants of the cave (bats), and some science of the minerals of stalactites and stalagmites. She spoke enough English to explain some things as well. There are also other activities like Ziplining where, instead of walking across the bridge to the cave, one can Zipline across which i think was $60 MXN. This trail is about a 4 KM (2 mile-ish) walk in dimly lit terrain in a humid enclosed cave, so if you or someone in your party is not into that you're able to turn around. Also, there are about 100 steps towards the turn around. BE PREPARED WITH WATER! Once done with the caves, thee are so many vendors selling coco frío, micheladas, and other excellent foods. We ended up at Fonda Mary that made excellent, fresh quesadillas, tacos dorados, and so many other delectable foods. I highly recommend this experience if you're on the fence about doing it.
