Coral Cave

Well we think that is what it should have been called but officially Cueva de Pozalagua. What makes this place so fantastic is that the stalagmites and stalactites do not do the normal Up/Down thing but some of them zig zag all over the place....a process not clearly understood because there are only 4 caves in the whole world where this happens. Amongst all the more fantastical explanations is the more prosaic one of these zig-zags only get one litre of water a year....such a low amount that the water never forms drops, so it never experiences full gravity, so it wanders around and the mineral deposits follow. This cave also never had an entrance but was discovered when the quarry above it broke through.Read more
