    Incredible place. The subterranean river experience was amazing. I accidentally touched some bat poop, but the rest was amazing. You can't bring your phone or camera down there, but if you have a waterproof case or camera and a little bag to keep it in, you can snap some good pictures. To enter, you have to climb down with a zip rope, and hold on to it to get to the river. You're gonna have to swim and dive in to keep on going, and it may be scary at some points, but it's definitely worth it. You're gonna exit the river and be welcomed with a beautiful view of green hills. Since the place shares a hill with Guerrero, you can say you also went there! Once you exit the cave, you're gonna walk through a jungle-like place, so don't forget to bathe yourself in mosquito repellent and sunscreen. The guides are fully trained and certified professionals, so they'll take good care of you. All of this for just 200 pesos and the 40 for adults or 30 for kids, at the entrance. The photos below show the entrance to the subterranean river.

    A beautiful case system that is accessed for only 42 pesos per person, which includes a guided tour that lasts approximately 1 hour. Be aware that there is a large number of stairs leading down to the cave entrance, and additional sets of stairs once you are inside the cave.

    the place is a must when visiting Ixtapan de la Sal. It is just a short drive away from downtown Ixtapan. The caves are connected by a subterranean river to other Cacahuamilpa Caves. There are opportunities to make the entire journey, ask the guides when and how; otherwise one can enjoy a one-hour tour around the caves and enjoy wonderful formations

    A very nice geological place to visit. The guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we were safe throughout the tour. We did see bats I the caves! The area around the cave entrance is nice as well.

    I went yesterday but unfortunately the place was closed due to the pandemic so instead of leaving that place we took a small hiking tour inside the dried forest and yeah that was amazing.

    It's a magical place, make sure to visit with the proper mindset, ready to awe yourself with the power of nature reflected in a marvelous work which has taken eons to be created. The park is well maintained and the guides are very attentive. You'll find yourself trying to capture every single detail

    This was a fun experience. I enjoyed everything about it from the long steps down to the location, to the souvenir, to the tour. It was a fun and educational place to visit.

    Great side trip if you are visiting Ixtapan de la Sal. Beautiful area, interesting tour, nice guides and staff. Be prepared to hike up a lot of stairs on your return trip to your car. Bring water! They have extensive adventure tours but I am not sure how to prebook them prior to getting to the site because the website is lacking.

    It was a fantastic place. The cave was deep and wide, so I went down a lot of stairs. I was able to see strange stalactites and bats. The guide explained well.

    Absolutely beautiful place. The road to get there is in great condition, the landscape is awesome, parking is free, there is a little restaurant just by the entrance, they take cars payments and the food is very nice and not expensive at all, great service. The caves themselves are astounding, as is the staircase that take you there. Great place, not expensive.

    A wonderful spot! The complex is very well-organized and the ticket price of 45 pesos per person is a bargain. You purchase tickets at the entrance and then walk down well-made steps to the cave entrance. There are bathrooms and refreshments at the top and bottom. The cave tour is very professional (EdoMex staff) and informative. Inside the cave the walkway is well-marked and maintained. We really enjoyed our visit and will recommend it to friends.
