Entering the cave system of Santa Maria Caves, we move into a fabulous world of twilight and emerging vibrating lights. Looking down at the sandy bottom, we can sometimes spot small stingrays, flounders and hermit crabs in their camouflaged homes. As a bonus, there is also a small open air space with holes to the outside where we can emerge. Outside the caverns we will be greeted by a variety of fish, of which there are plenty.
