Marissa, Sean, Jens and I took an almost 2-hour drive to the remote mountain village of Cabrespine today to visit the giant Cabrespine cave. The Cabrespine cave is large and extends for over 17 KM and some of it has been made available to the general public.
The main area accessible to the public is over 200 metres in height and its bottom is barely visible. A walkway has been created approximately 100 metres above the bottom and it is from here that we and the general public can enjoy the cave. Those who are more adventureous can book ahead for a 5 hour excursion deep into the cave with experienced spelunkers. Have a look at today’s photos to get an idea of the interesting formations created by the dripping water over the course of thousands of years. It apparently takes around 100 years for a stalagmite to grow just 1 cm.
