Far from being the most well-known state for tourism, Kentucky presents itself as a rural region with lakes and moderate elevations in its eastern part, along with countless caves like those in Mammoth Cave National Park, which form the world's largest network with 600 kilometers of explored passages. In another field, Kentucky is also world-renowned for its horse breeding.
