Carlsbad Caverns National Park is a real underground labyrinth that will be very interesting for both beginners and avid speleologists. For lovers of comfortable excursions, there are elevators, electric lighting and paved paths. For fans of more extreme walks, there is a special excursion where you will have to crawl on your stomach, climb rope ladders, swim across ponds, climb through cracks and rock climb.

An evening flight from the Carlsbad Bat Cave, a species of Brazilian folded lip, is one of the main tourist attractions in the park. The Brazilian foldlip is a colonial species that feeds exclusively on insects. Colonies in Carlsbad Cave are made up primarily of females, who give birth to their young from June to late July, before moving to Mexico for the winter.
