Grutas del Rosario, Natural cave system in Lerdo, Mexico.

The cave complex extends through 500 meters across four distinct levels, featuring numerous stalactites and stalagmites formed by mineral deposits over time.

Miners searching for phosphorite discovered the cave system on December 17, 1966, when Simón Agüero Espinoza investigated an unusual hollow sound in the wall.

Local guides from Mapimí, including experienced Jherson and young Dalila, share their knowledge of the cave formations with visitors throughout the day.

Visitors must descend 300 meters using rope railings and follow expert guides through artificially illuminated passages to explore the geological formations safely.

The cave formations display natural shapes resembling musical instruments, including harps, pianos, and timpani, created by mineral processes within the rock.
