One of the first things we are going to visit are the Basaltic Prisms, formed thousands of years ago, a set of rocks that shine with sunlight. Its geometric structure approximately forty meters high is imposing. In this geological phenomenon, the waters of the San Antonio Dam form four waterfalls that play happily on the prisms.
