Nationaal park Carlsbad Caverns (Carlsbad Caverns National Park)

Nationaal park Carlsbad Caverns (Engels Carlsbad Caverns National Park) is een nationaal park en tevens werelderfgoed gelegen in de Guadalupe Mountains in de Amerikaanse staat New Mexico. Het park is vooral bekend vanwege de ondergrondse toeristische grotten. Deze grotten zijn voor toeristen op twee manieren te betreden; via de natuurlijke ingang en via een lift die meteen naar het 230 meter dieper gelegen gedeelte gaat.
Het park heeft twee registraties in het National Register of Historic Places: “The Caverns Historic District” en de “Rattlesnake Springs Historic District”. Ongeveer een derde van het park is gereserveerd als beschermd natuurgebied.
Het park wordt het drukst bezocht tijdens de weekenden na Independence Day en Memorial Day.

  • Absolutely breath taking. Very cool place! You almost feel like you teleported to another world. I couldn’t help but think of the Apache walking these paths within the cave years ago. Seeing the sights in the cave makes your mind go crazy. Add the echoes of sound and wow! We often thought or felt as if someone was walking with us. We’d think we’d see someone in the shadows but then it was just a rock formation. You pay $1 per person to reserve a time slot. Tickets are $15 each. You can hike down into the cave or take the elevator. There is a cafe at the base. Prices aren’t too bad. There is also a blue mail pickup box for the US Postal Service, at the base of the cave. You can get a post card for about $.75 cents and send it from the cave. Pretty cool!

  • A huge cave in Guadalupe mountain range in Carlsbad. You can go 1200 feet deep inside from the top entrance. There is a option of using elevator to go down to big room of the cave or else you can walk down for 2.5 miles and come back up with an elevator.

    Amazing National Park, words don't do this place justice. HUGE caverns dwarf anything you've seen before. 2 or so hour walking tour down into the Big Room is a must. They even have bathroom and a snack bar at the bottom. Best National Park 🌲🦇 I've visited so far. Get here early and make reservations.

    Was an awesome experience wouldn't recommend hiking down from the top entrance of you have toddlers.... Very steep and scary and than to hold them all the way down a mile no fun... Use the elevator down to main cave will save you tons of energy and will enjoy your experience alot more .... Other than that was very nice ....

  • I've been coming to this place since I was a child. Recently got to bring my daughter and it was just as a mazing as I remembered. Definitely a must see for cave enthusiasts. The path into the cave looks steep, but it's actually only slightly angled and very winding. The cave is really well maintained and the staff are really enthusiastic and informative.

  • The caverns are absolutely amazing and the drive in through the park if beautiful too. I assure you have never seen anything like the caverns before. If you can walk, I encourage you to take the natural entrance down into the caverns. It's such a memorable experience to descend into the cave and see where wildlife enters. Your eyes will adjust over time and you will see so many cool rock formations in the caverns. Definitely recommend visiting the caverns to all nature enthusiasts!

  • Must visit place. The Caverns are well preserved. Whole tour would at least take 3 hours so plan ahead. Do bring a jacket because it is cold underground

    Would love to return without my 4 year old. His attention span wasn't enough to really take in the self-guided tour. Would also love to return and take one of the guided lower chamber tours, looks like a lot of fun. The formations are really beautiful and in many cases amazing. However, some could use a bit more light to really see them. Do remember to make a reservation before you go, you can't make them there. Will return at some point.
