Mysterious phenomena
These caves are
a part of a 380 million year old coral reefs that was pressed on shore. It's
possible to experience an strange phenomena from January to December in the
middle of the day.
Then the sun light breaks trough a 14 metres deep hole. If the light hit you,
the whole cave will be illuminated of the reflected light with the colours on
your clothes. 3 of 16 caves are open for visitors.

Look up for bats, and be prepared for
creeping in dirty, dark and narrow holes and tunnels. Could it be more exciting?
It's not good for they who have claustrophobia. The
caves must be like a big labyrinth, and I wonder about have someone disappeared
in there before?
