Corinto is famous for an important archaeological site known as, “Gruta de Espiritu Santo” or The Holy Grotto. The caves contain a collection of  over 200 colorful rock paintings that date back 10,000 years. The paintings portray humans and animals made from blood and natural dyes. The caves are 1.2 miles north of the town of Corinto. Walk down Calle Pable Escobar and follow the signs “Sitio Arqueologico Repestre Gruta del Esperitu Santo”.  Ask for directions as there are a few turns that will lead you away from the caves. When the locals are asked when the cave paintings were painted, they all say “antes de los epanoles”……….really.
