San Joaquin is characterized because of its beautiful landscape, consisting of waterfalls, forests and caverns, as well as important mineral deposits.

La Herrera Grottos, Stalactites and stalagmites once produced by water lics are today unusual shapes and figures. Approximately 500 meters have been dug to enjoy such a scene. The entry to the grottos is at the entrance of the town.

The cave called Las Grutas or Grutas los Herrera is located in the Sierra Gorda Queretana, only 5 minutes walk from San Joaquin town center. It is famous for its speleothems, which are named with much fantasy after the things they resemble. The chambers are called Sala del León (Lions chamber), Sala del Cocodrilo (Crocodile chamber), El Paso de la Selva (Pass of the rain forrest), or El Imperio Romano (Roman Empire). The cave is well lit and equipped with comfortable paths.
