The outside of the cave. The people spend most of their time outside. It's just too dark inside. You can see the black part of the rock. That is where the chimney comes out.
The native Tarahumaras live all over in the area of Creel (southwestern Chihuahua). Many of them live in the canyon but some live in cave houses. We went to visit one of the houses. There were 14 people living in a space no larger than the living room and front entryway of our house. It was a cave too so the ceiling and walls were rock. The ceiling sloped in at one part so that you couldn't stand up straight. The kids we met there were adorable. It was a very humbling experience and made me realize just how much I really have.
