We had heard tell of some caves in Sontule but had never visited them, so off we went.
Jackson was our guide and Marlon Mauricio and Valeska came along too for the two hour trip uphill and down again.
The caves were used many hundreds of years ago for storage by the indigenous people who inhabited these parts before the Spanish saw them off. Lots of artefacts have been found here, mainly bits of ceramic and flint spear and arrow heads, but its all been removed now and taken away by anyone who fancied it.
The trip was a success; we enjoyed it, the kids enjoyed it and
Jackson was pleased with the responsibility of guiding us. The only negative was the dozen or so tiny ticks I picked up somewhere and found stuck to the top of my arm and my armpit. They are too small to photograph, but we have both had to remove them now, which is easy once you’ve located them, and can both testify to their itchy nature.
