THE ENTRANCE CHAMBER

This enormous chamber 60 m in diameter plunges us suddenly into a magical world. A lake of emerald water and noises in the background remind us that this is where the water from two underground rivers come together before emerging into the open air.

As we continue on our way, we will thus discover two different underground areas.

The amount of water
emerging from
the caves can rise
in the space of just
a few hours from
a few litres
to over 3 000 litres
per second,
but this has no effect
on our safety
as we visit the Caves.
