Grutas de Garcia is found 9 km beyond Villa de Garcia northwest of Monterrey and the periferico. An illuminated 2.5 km route leads through 16 chambers in this cave system high in Sierra del Fraile, reached by a 700 meter ascent by funicular railway. The caves were formed about 50 mllion years ago and discovered by the parish priest in 1843. There are losts of stalactites and stalagmites, as well acetified sea shells. Each chamber has a different name such as The Eagle’s Nest and The Eighth wonder. The caves are visited by following a guided tour that takes the visitor through caves that are artificially lighted.

Admission: 2 USD without funicular, 3.5 USD to ride funicular.
