A stalactite grows down from a cave roof, a stalagmite grows up from the floor.
This part of the cave consists of 6 large, well-lit rooms full of speleothems including stalactites, stalagmites, helictites, columns, and draperies.
The main attraction of the cave is the exquisite stalactite and stalagmite formations.
The layer of stalagmites here formed was punctured so that the nitrous component contained therein might be extracted.
Besides its enormous wealth in beautiful stalactites, stalagmites and similar calcite deposits it contains cave paintings and some engravings.
There is also a cavern 120 meters deep with several large chambers containing both stalagmites and stalactites.
It is a naturally lighted cavern with a deep lagoon and many large stalactites and stalagmites.
It is a dark, cavernous place, where twisted cypress trees grow, and many stalactites and stalagmites protrude from its rocky landscape.
