National Parks

TINGO MARIA NATIONAL PARK

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:

It is made of a mountain chain known as La Bella Durmiente (Sleeping Beauty) since its tops form the profile of a sleeping woman. You can find a wide variety of wildlife in the park with over 104 species of animals like fish, frogs, reptiles, birds, and mammals. There are different attractions to be visited like the Cave of Las Lechuzas (barn owl), the Cave of Las Pavas (guans), and the Jacintillo sulfurous waters.
Cave of the Lechuzas
Located in the foothills of La Bella Durmiente, it is the main entrance to a subterranean cave system found inside the mountains. The cave is home to an important colony of birds called guachanos or santanas (similar to barn owls) as well as parrots, swallows, and bats.
Cave of the Pavas
It is located at the end of a deep and narrow gorge where a tiny stream forms beaches and wells surrounded by plants. In one of the pools, you can make out a natural formation that looks like the body of a woman, which is locally known as “The Goddess of the Water “.
