I was stunned by the pristine condition and the abundance of stalagmites and stalactites formations, full-length draperies, huge columns, and dazzling mirror pools that this ancient caved has formed over millions of years.
The stalactites on the ceiling are mirrored perfectly onto the flat surface below, creating the illusion of thousands of stalagmites rising up from the floor to reach to reach up to them.
This is where we find National Geographic’s best example of draperies in the world. It’s definitely the best example I have seen of these flowing delicate curtain formations.
My favorite formation in here was the Double Column, the tallest formation in the cavern at 47ft high. On the front side is a stalactite reaching all the way to the floor from the ceiling.
I found the Wishing Well fascinating, although I’m unsure of any damage it may do to the caves. I asked the ranger who said it doesn’t and is protected to ensure this.
