The Ice Cave is located at an altitude of 3,300 meters and has a dimension of about 50 meters in length, having one of the highest sources of the National Park strong>. It is curious to note that the cave has water throughout the year and that it is kept frozen thanks to the isolation of the materials.

The goatherd was to kill him because it was untenable for the lizard to eat a piece of cattle every day, during the fight to kill him the goatherd was about to be devoured and entrusted to the Virgen de las Angustias, finally he was able to finish with the lizard and thanks to the Virgin he took it to the altar as an offering. Although this is the legend, there is another version, and that is that the Captain Torres ended with an alligator in Mexico in the year 1771 that was dissected and brought from America.
