crystal caves

dlb are considering Belize for our honeymoon.  while doing research I came across some crystal caves, which prompted me to do research on other crystal cave sites that might exist.

then I hit the motherload.

these photos are from the amazing crystal caves called Cueva de los Cristales in Naica, Mexico.  amazing, right?

    Oh WOW.

    I’ve never seen anything like this before. The people look tiny. I like to pretent the crystals are regular size and they’re just really small people with teeny little hardhats.

    I totally thought this was done using Photoshop. I cannot believe a place like this exists, so unreal. Thank you a hundred times for this.

    Wow, that’s amazing, they almost look fake! I’ve heard Belize is GORGEOUS and most importantly terribly romantic – good luck with the deciding. What are the other choices?

    Skip the caves. Go to Belize. Ambergris Caye or any of the other islas are amazing.

    They are amazing, although you need a special heat suit and breathing equitment to visit the caves, featured on a documentry on the BBC over here.

    wow those are so amazing! When I first glanced at the first photo I thought it was photoshopped! I would love to there someday.

    Ironically, it’s also one of the most deadly places on earth. Because of the heat and humidity inside the cave, you can barely survive inside even for half an hour.

    thanks for the comments everyone. even though this seems like a dream adventure, we’d obviously read about the dangers of these caves.

    still planning on Belize!!! :)

    Those are so sureal. I thought at first it was a digitized photo. It makes you wonder what other treasures are out there that we aren’t familiar with yet. If those were in the US, it would be a national park that everyone visited once in their life. How is the honeymoon search? We thought about Belize but ended up else where. Since then, we’ve tried to replicate certain things from our honeymoon with every trip. We’ve posted about our trips if you want to check’em out for inspiration. You might like Yucatan, Croatia, Thailand, or Roatan. Do you Scuba dive or snorkel? The water is defiantly a huge draw for Belize. Good luck!
