Small and large lakes, 13 in total, with different colors each one, depending on the oxides contained in the rocks. You will see the wonderful «hanging bridge», the «waterfalls» «falling» and you will have the feeling of being on a floating corridor. Also you will admire strange stalactite formations. In winter when the snow melts, the cave is transformed into a subterranean river with natural waterfalls. The cave's explored length is 1,980 meters. The developed part of the cave is currently 500 meters long.

Theo was awesome - extremely accommodating the entire day. A few glitches along the way were nobody's fault and not within his or the company's control (they graciously reduced our trip price afterward as a result, very considerate to do so). Despite everything, it was still a great day - We'd definitely book them again for this or another excursion.
