Our next stop was Carlsbad Caverns located near Carlsbad, New Mexico. The stalactites and stalacmites were absolutely amazing. Carlsbad Caverns is sometimes referred to as the eighth wonder of the world and is famous for its 80 limestone caves. Did you know they are the deepest chambers in the world?
There are over one million Mexican free-tailed bats in the caverns. If you come to the park during May you can see the "Bat Fly". That is when thousands of bats fly from the main cavern entrance.
We left Carlsbad and headed to El Paso, Texas and Cuidad Juarez, Mexico. Juarez is located just across the border from El Paso, Texas. El Paso and Cuidad Juarez together form one of the largest international border cities in the world with a combined population of 2.5 million people.
