Known simply as the Crystal Cave, or Cueva de los Cristales, this geologic wonder represents a milestone of discovery, a cave of gigantic crystals that reach from floor to ceiling filling the chamber with an otherworldly appearance and where the environment is so hot and humid that those brave enough to venture into its perplexing structure run the risk of never leaving.
