Chambers and visit
You’ll enter the complex via steps, and on the way down you’ll start to get an idea of how beautiful this cave is. The first chamber you come to will be the Shell Chamber, where the flow of the water will guide you on to the Diamond Chamber and the Manila Mantles Chamber, the first featuring crystal formations and the second with stalactites in a multitude of colours. Further on you’ll find the Great Lake, just before you get to the second level where you’ll see the massive stone columns that welcome you to the Cathedral Chamber. Next, you’ll discover the Glassware of God, the Chickpea Chamber, with its small crystals, and finally, right before the exit, the Nudes Chamber. This cave is simply stunning, a place where reality surpasses fiction. A wonder worthy of Alice’s own wonderland, but this one is real.
