Inspired by the book of the same name (also known as Arabian Nights), Carillo began construction on the middle-eastern style complex in 1992. The house featured several hot tubs, a pool, and a system of escape tunnels fit for such a notorious criminal. The property, estimated to be worth $5 million at the time, was seized by the Mexican government in 1993, and though it was eventually returned to Carillo’s family, construction was never completed. Sale of the property was unsuccessfully attempted in 2006 and in it was ordered to be demolished by Eduardo Bours, the Governor of Sonora, in 2009. Demolition did not begin in earnest until 2020.

By: Mike1989.
The Homestead Caldera, known locally as "The Crater" is a natural hot spring surrounded by a rock dome. It is located in Midway, Utah. It is a commercial location open year round to scuba divers and swimmers. Originally, it was accessed from a large natural opening at the top of the dome, but has since had a tunnel blasted through horizontally for easy access. The Crater began forming 10,000 years ago, and is made of minerals deposited by the rising, heated spring water.
It was used in the Danny Boyle film 127 Hours as a shooting location. The film portrays it as existing 300 miles south of its actual location, in Blue John Canyon.
