Quick facts: Millions of tiny stalactites and stalagmites decorate this vast network of limestone caves. Local legends say indigenous peoples once used these caves as shelter and spiritual sites.
Highlights: A glowing underground waterfall cascades inside, casting eerie light on ancient petroglyphs etched into the walls. Stalactites hang overhead like nature's chandeliers, creating a cathedral-like atmosphere that's both eerie and beautiful.
