About an hour walk from the main area in Xilitla is some of the most amazing caves I’ve ever seen (OK, to be fair I haven’t seen a lot of caves yet, but that doesn’t detract from the beauty of this place).
It’s called La Cueva del Salitre, the Cave of the Mineral Salts and is home to thousands of wild parakeets that swirl around the cave entrance at dusk to enter their homes.

If you’re in Mexico between November and March I’d recommend heading out to one of the butterfly sanctuaries in the state of Michoacán, Mexico. The I visited Santuario Sierra Chincua yesterday and it’s a sight I’ll never forget!
