    What To Expect

    The 3 Eyes National Park

    The Los Tres Ojos Park features caves composed of limestone rocks, divided by three underground lakes, which is the main reason it is named 'The Three Eyes Park.' In addition to these lakes, it also has an exterior freshwater lake. This natural reserve allows us to preserve millennia-old geological formations, creating breathtaking landscapes both underwater and on land. It is a walking tour where, to explore the entire underground area, it is necessary to climb the 346 steps that connect the entire area.
