Caves (grutas)

Grutas are what we know as caves. They are formed by water filtration of the rocks. It takes thousands of years to form them. The different types of shapes and sizes are a characteristic of the rocks in the caves. They are built primarily of stalactites and stalagmites. These are accumulations of salt minerals. Stalactites are the ones which hang from the upper part of the cave. And stalagmites go from de bottom to the upper part. These rocks have formed many shapes inside the caves. In Rioverde, S.L.P., you can find two of the most beautiful caves. One is “La Gruta de Catedral” and the other on is “La Gruta del Angel”. The pic I’m posting is form the first one. This is called like that because at the very bottom there is a big space made by rocks that form the shape of the inner part of a Cathedral. Well, this is it. My next post I'm going to talk a little about "Gruta de Catera". And post some pics I took. See ya! Ba bye.
