Grutas de Botuverá

Grutas de Botuverá is a cave system with multiple chambers containing calcite formations and mineral deposits throughout its passages. The network features varying ceiling heights and different levels to explore during a visit.

In the late 1990s, local authorities recognized the site's importance and began implementing protective measures. Since then, the area has been managed to preserve the underground formations for future generations.

The site functions as a place where visitors learn about underground geology and the natural processes that shaped such formations. Local guides share knowledge in a direct and accessible manner during visits.

Visitors should wear sturdy footwear with good grip, as the passages inside can be uneven and slippery. Tours are kept small and personal, allowing time to explore each space at a comfortable pace.

Inside, seven bat species thrive in the darkness, perfectly adapted to the underground environment. The ecosystem also supports many invertebrate species that have evolved specifically to live in these conditions.
