The Arco del Tiempo eco-tourist center is located in an area of geological formations that are more than 87 thousand years old, with a predominance of karst formations, due to the dissolution of limestone. It is bordered by high cliffs, forming a canyon with limestone walls that reach heights of more than 500 meters. This canyon is 84 km long and many natural caves have formed in its walls.
