I tell everyone about them: It's an incredible place. Baldasar created a unique underground world of beauty and elegance. The engineering is as impressive as his gardens, and there is a spirituality to the place overall. I went back twice and took different friends and family with me each time. Everyone loved it and we were all inspired by the experience. Don't miss this wonderful landmark in the Central Valley!
