Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico, USA, is renowned for its extensive limestone caves, including the famous Carlsbad Cavern. The park features more than 119 caves, formed by the dissolution of limestone by sulfuric acid. The main attraction, the Big Room, is a massive underground chamber that stretches nearly 4,000 feet long, 625 feet wide, and 255 feet high, making it one of the largest cave chambers in North America. Visitors can explore the caverns through self-guided or ranger-led tours, and witness the spectacular bat flight at sunset, where thousands of bats exit the cave in search of food.
