After wandering Santiago, we ventured more north to the Caves of Garcia. Traffic was horrible. Luckily, we had a GPS and were able to navigate. People park in traffic lanes, don't use blinkers, or obey lights. It is quite the experience, but Jamir is very good at driving in it all.
We made it to the caves and they were awesome! This side has more rocky mountains and cactus. We took a cable car up the side of the mountain. The caves themselves were huge! Way bigger than the ones in American Fork. They were discovered by a Catholic priest so a lot of the formations are very religious based. It was so interesting.

| Check out the staircases. It was very tall. |
 |
| Christmas tree formation. In Utah they wouldn't let you touch the walls. Here they drape lights over them. |
 |
| Deepest part of the caves. We got a special tour. |

| The mano (hand). Something about reaching to God. |
