History
The park’s landscape formed over millennia as mineral-rich water built travertine barriers; it gained national park status in 1949 and UNESCO protection in 1979.
Conservation
Stay on marked paths to protect fragile travertine formations; the park manages visitor flows seasonally to reduce erosion and habitat disturbance.
