Keywords:

The study of volcanic caves is a topic of interest for scientists worldwide. This is due to the unique microorganisms they contain and its possible use as Martian analogs. Despite the high number of lava caves in Mexico, there are only few scientific studies. This article narrates the process and results of the investigations in Chimalacatepec lava caves conducted by researchers from the Institute of Geology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
