In the García Caves (Grutas de García), a 50-million-year-old cave complex hidden with the Cumbres de Monterrey National Park, multicolored lighting enhances the drama of several striking rock formations. Explore 16 distinct chambers—including one bathed in natural light—admire the stalagmite shaped like a human hand, and more.
Great experience!!!Our guide was super friendly and gave us a very personalized experience. His vehicle was very clean and modern. It honestly felt like we were hanging around town with close friends!
The Grutas de Garcia are truly spectacular! The journey includes a steep initial hike (paved switchbacks) that took people in my group 30-40 minutes to complete. The caves themselves are beautifully maintained, with appropriate lighting, handrails, etc., to show off the beauty of the space without risking damage to either the visitors or the delicate rock formations. Afterward, we went down into the town of Garcia for ice cream, a pastry shop, and tacos — the perfect end to the trip. Alex was a wonderful guide, answering all sorts of questions, translating for those who needed it, and easily navigating the traffic. Our trip was in November, so we enjoyed cool weather. Anyone visiting during the warm season should absolutely bring water, a hat, and sunscreen for the hike up/down.
Polo & Alejandro were great! This was such a cool experience & great way to see some of the natural beauty around Monterrey. The hike up to the caves was pretty steep but absolutely worth it! Be sure to wear comfortable clothes & good walking shoes.
My amazing guide, Polo, went above and beyond in communicating with me prior to my trip to ensure I was prepared. He is an amazing conversationalist, shared fabulous knowledge about the area and my specific tour location, and is very friendly and kind!
I would highly recommend Viator. They are professional and fun!
Such a wonderful experience. Touring the caves was awesome. We rode the Gondola up and took the trail down, which I recommend because the trail was fantastic with great views. Polo was our guide & he was one of the best tour guides I’ve had, tools us to a great restaurant for lunch & provided other great recommendations.
