Inside the cave, you will discover impressive stalactites and stalagmites, underground pools, white cave insects and a mysterious river system hidden beneath the mountains. One of the most interesting parts of the cave is where two different water streams meet, with cold water coming from one side and warmer water from the other. The expedition will be guided by our safety team and instruction guides, who will support you throughout the adventure.
