Apresentação geral

Carlsbad Caverns

Monumental underground network under the Chihuahua desert, known for its rooms and bat flights.

To understand what Carlsbad Caverns is, you need to look at Big Room, Natural Entry Trail and King's Palace. These places give us a view of a territory marked by desert areas and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Ver tudo

For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Carlsbad Cave National Park reveals a network of huge halls, stalactites, columns and mineral draperies under the New Mexico desert. The natural descent into the cave gives a real feeling of depth, while seasonal flight of bats adds a living dimension to the underground landscape.

Big Room deploys one of the most impressive rooms of Carlsbad Caverns, with columns, draperies, massive stalagmites and dark basins illuminated by keys. The arranged loop allows to move slowly in this underground decor, where proportions become difficult to judge.

Nature and panorama

Natural Entrance Trail

4,6 / 5· Hidengo30 min a 1 h 30

Natural Entrance Trail descends by the natural opening of Carlsbad Cavern, in large laces that gradually leave the desert light. The passage gives a strong physical transition to the underground world, with the wet smell, the silhouettes of stalactites and the ceiling that gradually closes.

Culture and heritage

King's Palace

4,5 / 5· Hidengo2 h a meio dia

King's Palace usually visits with a ranger and reveals rooms deeper, rich in calcite draperies, columns and delicate formations. The framework makes the experience more intimate than the free routes, with explanations on the slow growth of the concretions and the fragility of the cave.
