These caves have to be seen to be believed, the caves (all 12 of them) are better than any other that I have seen anywhere. the whole trip was a bit much for our toddler and our 4month old but children over 5 will marvel at the sights, some of the caves just take your breath away (and that's not...

The Grutas de las Maravillas (Caves of Marvels) are really worth a visit. Buy your ticket from the office opposite and you will soon be off on a guided tour through the caves by a Spanish speaking guide.
