Much of the soil in Chiapas is structured by layers of limestone, a water erosion sensitive material that favors the formation of cave systems.

Generally, these natural treasures are accessible only to cavers; However, for those who are out of this activity, nature offers places like Teopisca and Guaymas, two balconies to the dark inner world that allow us to appreciate, without the help of lamps or reflectors, those capricious formations called stalactites and stalagmites that, with the presence of sunlight, acquire unusual colors and shapes.

The Guaymas Cave is also a large room whose vault is over 30 meters high and, although slightly darker than Theopisca, Guaymas's room is rich in stalactites in the form of mantles or wide curtains. merge with the floor.

In Teopisca, the stalagmites are within the reach of sunlight, they glow with brightness; some touch the sky in the cave, others are flowery, melted like candles and silenced candles.

Due to the influence of the external brightness, the rocks of the Teopisca and Guaymas caves are dyed with soft colors: the green of the moss and the crystalline limestone runoff, there are bluish, yellow and pink tones, generated by the chemicals that contain the stones.
