Grutas del Rosario, Natural cave system in Lerdo, Mexico.
Grutas del Rosario is a cave system with four levels containing numerous stalactites and stalagmites formed by mineral deposits over centuries. The underground passages extend through the rock layers with artificial lighting that illuminates the various geological formations throughout.
Workers searching for phosphorite deposits discovered the cave system in 1966 when an unusual hollow sound in the rock wall caught their attention. This accidental finding led to exploration and eventual opening to visitors.
The site takes its name from a nearby shrine that once held religious significance for the region. This connection to local faith traditions remains part of how guides describe the place to visitors today.
Visitors must explore with an expert guide since the passages are steep and artificial lighting is necessary for safe navigation. Sturdy footwear and caution are important, especially on the uneven surfaces in the deeper sections.
The mineral formations in the deeper chambers resemble musical instruments like harps and drums by pure chance. This resemblance is entirely geological, yet it shows how nature has creatively shaped this underground world.
