Cuarenta Casas is an archaeological zone in the Huapoca Canyon. There are a series of caves, all located in the cliffs of El Garabato river. There are five different caves which may be visited. Each of them is located some distance from the next road and typically there is at least an hour walk to the side. Together with the poor roads, it is almost impossible to visit more than one location per day.
