Top Experiences in Garcia Caves (Grutas de Garcia)

NOTICE Cable car under maintenance: Entrance to the Caves by the path 40 minutes walking

The García Caves (Grutas de Garcia) are the world’s second largest cave system.

These caves, discovered in 1843, will astonish you with their natural formations whose creation began more than 50 million years ago. A three-minute journey up to the caves by a cable car offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

We will visit the extraordinary Grutas de García very close to the city of Monterey. We will take a 2 km tour inside the caverns and at the end of the tour we will move to the Monterrey City Viewpoint, where we will have the best panoramic views of the city.

We will enjoy a full day tour with a personalized guide who will captivate you with a good talk, history and culture of the towns and sites visited.

This experience transcends a transportation tour. You will explore a world-class cavern, gaining insights into the formation of stalactites and stalagmites. Learn about the history of the Sea of Tethys unearthing fossils dating back over 60 million years. To get to the cave entrance the 40-minute hiking trail follows magnificent views of limestone rock and the aromas of diverse plant species, including Mesquite and Anacahuita, typical trees of Northeastern Mexico. Following the cave visit, indulge in delightful bread and ice cream in the picturesque town of Garcia, a traditional Northeastern Mexican gem.
