Day 4: La Casa del Cimarron

We follow the asphalt road for about a kilometer to the dirt road leading up to the caves. The terrain is flat as we make the turn, but we see that the abrupt hills will have their way with us in about two hundred meters in.

“Up there,” says Alexis. “Can’t see them from here but up there are the caves.”

From the road I see two green hills; one has been flattened as a result of gravel mining.
