One of the masterpieces formed by the evaporation of concentrated calcium salts in water is the Naica crystal cave in Mount Naica, Chihuahua in Mexico. This is the largest natural crystal cave in the world - one of the pride of Mexican nature.

The Naica Crystal Cave located deep inside the Naica mountain and 290m below the ground, was discovered in 1974 by a Naica silver miner in Chihuahua City. However, it was not until 2000, when two brothers Juan and Pedro Sanchez proceed to drill a tunnel leading to the cave, then the truly interesting scenes are revealed. The Crystal Cave is like a splendid kingdom with huge crystal columns sprouting from the cliffs and bottom of the cave. Here, crystals are measured up to 12 meters (more than 36 feet) long with a single crystal weighing approximately 55 tons. These are the largest crystals anyone has ever seen in a cave. The cave is known as the “Cueva de Los Cristales” or the Crystal Cave.

Unfortunately, the cave, which is 120 meters underground, has been opened to exploration and eventually tourism, destroying many of the crystals. So currently, visitors are not allowed to visit here. However, the cave may be open to a limited number of visitors in the future.

In the Mexican jungle just outside the ruins of the Mayan city of Tulum, a series of sinkholes and jungle caves lead to an amazing underwater world. One such opening is Angelita Cenote: a 200-foot-wide chasm that opens abruptly from the surrounding jungle. The cave was created by the crumbling of porous limestone as water crept in and hollowed out the space. The open-pit was even worshiped as a holy site by ancient Mayan cultures, hence its name; "Cenote" is a derivative of a Mayan word meaning "sacred well".

In addition to the natural beauty of the surrounding lush jungle setting, the flooded Angelita Cave also has a unique quality: there seems to be a separate river running near the bottom of the hole filled with water. This illusion is a chemical product of water. Different parts of the water in the caves have different salinities, causing the denser water to sink to the bottom, where it looks like a misty river.

Angelita Cenote is a popular dive spot despite the difficulty of scuba diving due to the remote location of the entrance and the underground nature of the diving operation. However, adventurers are rewarded with a one-of-a-kind view of the underwater “river”.
