Grutas de García, Show cave in Sierra del Fraile mountain, Mexico
The cave system extends over 3.5 kilometers through limestone formations, reaching depths of 105 meters beneath the mountain surface point.
Marine fossils visible on the cave walls indicate that these underground chambers formed between 50 and 60 million years ago.
Twenty-seven named chambers feature formations such as El Teatro, La Torre China, and El Nacimiento, reflecting Mexican naming traditions.
A 625-meter aerial tramway transports visitors to the cave entrance, offering an alternative to the steep mountain path.
The Light Chamber contains a translucent rock ceiling that allows natural sunlight to filter through the underground space.
