Grutas de Lanquín, located in the Alta Verapaz department of Guatemala, are a stunning series of limestone caves renowned for their extensive network of underground chambers and passageways. These caves have significant cultural and historical importance to the local Q'eqchi' Maya people, who consider them sacred. Inside, visitors can marvel at impressive stalactites and stalagmites formations, as well as underground rivers. The caves are also home to a large population of bats, which can be seen emerging en masse at dusk.
