Often referred to as the "Caves of the Glowing Skulls," they gained attention when explorers discovered bones that appeared to glow due to calcite deposits. These caves are believed to have been a burial site for the indigenous peoples around 3,000 years ago. The artifacts uncovered include pottery and other ceremonial items, providing valuable insights into the pre-Columbian cultures of the region.
