Map showing the location of Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National Park
Cacahuamilpa is one of the largest cave systems in the world.[4] It is a "live" cave system, meaning that groundwater still filters down into it, and that the formations there are still growing.[3] Inside the cavern system are ninety large "salons" separated by large natural rock walls and connected to one another via a central gallery.[4] However, only about twenty of these are fully explored and open to the public.[8] Most of these salons are located under the Cerro de la Corona, a limestone mountain ridge.[6]borehole openings.[4] These salons average about forty meters wide,[6] and vary in height from twenty to 81 meters.[2] Most have names which reflect the major formations found in them such as the Goat Salon, the Throne Salon and the Cathedral Salon.[4] All the openings numerous rock formations growing from both the ceiling and the floor.[4][6] One of the drier salons has been dubbed the “Auditorium”. It has a large flat floor and has been outfitted with seats. It is rented out for events,[2] and has been the site for a number of concerts including one in 2007 by Miguel Bosé[9] and one by the Acapulco Philharmonic Orchestra in 2009.[10]
