Question: Where is the world’s longest underground river?
Answer: The world’s longest underground river flows deep beneath the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico.

The underground river was discovered by British diver Stephen Bogaerts and his German German colleague Robbie Schmittner. The entire system is now known as Sac Actun. The system has a total surveyed length (including dry caves) of 319 kilometers (198 mi), making it the longest cave system in Mexico, and the second longest worldwide.
Until the 2007 discovery by Bogaerts and Schmittner the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River was reputed to be the world’s longest underground river.
