    Are there any other natural wonders that you'd like us to explore in a video?
  • This is wonderful, it's the only one you can visit, the Naica cave was flooded again to preserve it.
  • This is so cool. It reminds me of that scene in the old Superman movie. Except that this one is real and natural. Simply Beautiful.

    I’ve been there! We didn’t know anything about it when we went to stay in Mar de Pulpí, but it turned out to be one of the best (and one of the only) things to do there. The geode is like looking into Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. Totally gorgeous.

    Imagine places that has yet to be discovered and maybe they never will be, what a wonderful world.
  • We went to visit the Geode (Almeria) and it was awesome. I am everything I learn on my Physical Science class. My students were so impress with this beautiful and unique nature beautifulness. I am so glad I got to visit and show the pictures. Special thanks to Manuel who was a wonderful guide. My husband Rafa is sending him a big hi.

    I read this in Reader's Digest, maybe 10-15 years ago. Still fascinated.

    Very informative and beautiful. Watched it twice. Once for the translation and twice for the the view.

    I had this confused for the one cave that is much too hot and humid to spend time in. That geode is magnificent! Imagine all the other hidden places we have beneath our feet...
  • How wonderful you have had this experience. I have dreamed of being inside with giant crystals for many years well before these discoveries. Absolutely fascinating. I hope to someday in the near future to be able to visit. And I will still be allowed to see. Thank you for this video. Very well made too. 😉👍❤

    You can't fool us, that's Superman's lair.
