An awe inspiring site, stalactites looming down as the tour continues ever deeper eventually sliding into the clear water that flows through the maze. After an indeterminate amount of time, emerge at another point in the forest. Walk, swim, and float through a remarkable series of sights all small talk had all but petered out, replaced by a silence in the awe of the raw power of nature. « less
