Cuevas de Taulabé, Show cave in Comayagua Department, Honduras.
The Taulabé Caves extend through an underground network of limestone formations, featuring numerous stalactites and stalagmites across multiple chambers and passages.
Construction workers discovered the cave system in 1969 when a tractor fell into a ravine during the building of Highway CA-5 between San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa.
The name Taulabé originates from an indigenous term signifying 'meeting of roads' or 'path of the jaguar', reflecting the area's historical function as a transit route.
Visitors can access the caves at kilometer 140 of Highway CA-5, where guides lead tours through 700 meters of illuminated pathways installed in 2003.
Scientists have explored 921 meters of the cave system, yet the total extent remains unknown as new passages continue beyond the mapped sections.
