A place where black eggs are boiled in volcanic springs and eaten to gain extra years of life.

Imagine walking into a cavern where the walls are lined with **towering crystals**, some as tall as a giraffe, others stretching longer than a city bus. Their translucent spires shimmer like frozen moonlight, jutting out in every direction. It looks like a fantasy scene from a science fiction epic — but it’s real. Hidden deep beneath the earth in northern Mexico lies one of nature’s strangest masterpieces: the **Cueva de los Cristales**, or **Cave of the Crystals**.
