And, if you have not visited the cave and town recently I sure do recommend it.
The week we spend there during the pre-congress field trip was tops a few years
ago. In fact I could see spending sometime in the future in Bustamante,
however, probably not in July-Sept.

Gruta del Palmito was the original name, but when the cave was
commercialized they changed it to Grutas de Bustamante. Maybe that was so
people would know where it was.
