Our goal was simple. To see one of the most beautiful limestone caverns in the world.
The walk from the visitors' center was lovely, through rocks and scrub. We saw several lizards, but the most impressive wildlife was at the mouth of the caverns.
Just as bats swarm from the entry at dusk, throughout the day, cave swallows are everywhere. The swallows dart in and out of the sunshine, before returning to their nests in the rock, impossibly high above you.
The caverns themselves were one of the most magical things I have ever seen. I don't know how to even begin to describe them, so I will try to make do with some pictures of the more amazing features.
At the end of the self-guided tour, an elevator returned us to reality, where we still needed to go a very long way in not nearly enough time.
