Grutas de Bustamante, Show cave in Bustamante, Mexico.

The limestone cave system extends for 3,000 meters through the Sierra de Gomas mountains, featuring large chambers with formations of stalactites and stalagmites.

Juan Gómez Cazares found the caves in 1906 while searching for palmito plants, detecting cold air flowing from a crack in the ground.

The caves contributed to Bustamante receiving the Pueblo Mágico designation in 2018, recognizing the area's natural and cultural heritage within Nuevo León.

Tours operate Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM, requiring visitors to walk 1.6 kilometers uphill to reach the cave entrance.

The cave system contains marine fossils embedded in its walls, indicating the area was submerged under water between 50 and 60 million years ago.

Elevation above the sea: 802 m

GPS coordinates: 26.50056,-100.52667
