Naica cave of giant crystals

It would be in a different world from ours, but we just have to travel to the Sierra de Naica, south of the city of Chihuahua, Mexico, to meet with this wonder of nature.

The Crystal Cave of Naica has waited until now to show its beauty. Huge geodes red walls and giant selenite crystals. Peaceful, quiet, hosted this cave slowly growing their crystals to whisper of water, heat, darkness and silence for more than a million years.

Captivated by her beauty and her enormous dimensions. A place where ice appearance contrasts with a heat that kills us; an alien, inhuman, hostile environment that leads us to recover our capacity for contemplation and admiration for nature.

The crystal cave is unique in the world and its appearance is temporary and that over millions of years formed using water that temporarily has been drained by a particular system, and it will stop working when you finish the mines, then the crystal cave will be covered by water and continue its growth.
