We invite you to discover the most impressive 10 caves in the world:
1. Jeita cave from Lebanon
Jeita cave is 20 km from Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. It is considered one of the great natural wonders of the world, consisting of two stone caves: one with galleries in its upper part and another one crossing the river Rio del Perro. The stalactites and stalagmites offer a spectacular view produced by the water erosion.

2. Giant crystal cave in Mexico
Here we can find the largest crystals in the world, some of them reaching up to 11 m. The cave was discovered in 2000 and is considered a wonder of nature. It has these giant formations due to the temperature that it has been preserved for thousands of years: 54°C (129°F). Fortunately, some of the cave rooms have a natural ventilation system that creates conditions somewhat bearable. The maximum survival time in this cave is half an hour.

3. Blue Lake Cave in Brazil
Considered a natural wonder, the formed stalactites and stalagmites and a huge blue lake are of breathtaking beauty. The splendor and the peculiarity of this cave can be seen when sunlight enters it, producing a magical effect: the walls turn blue.

4. Mogao Caves in China
It is a set of 492 temples located near the city of Dunhuang in Gansu Province. Over time they were known as the caves of a thousand Buddhas. In 1987, UNESCO made the cave a part of the Heritage of Humanity. They were built during the Northern Wei Dynasty and have a simple layout, marked by Indian influences. The walls which were painted in the Tang Dynasty are richer and include many characters. Buddhist monks cherished solitude and hoped that these caves will help them reach enlightenment. The paintings could influence them in meditation, considering them visual representations in finding perfection, but were at the same time ways to inform about Chinese Buddhist faith and history.

5. Cave Pozo Encantado in Brazil
The cave can be found in Chapada Diamantina National Park. It is one of the most visited areas, receiving the name of “Phenomenon”, because the crystal clear waters have different colors due to the effects of sunlight that shines for a few hours a day through the cave openings.

9. Waitomo Cave in New Zealand
Also known as Fireflies cave, Waitomo is special due to a certain detail: in it live thousands of bioluminescent worms from the Arachnocampa Luminosa species. These worms emit a faint bluish light in order to attract their prey. Thousands can be found inside the cave, hanging from the ceiling like threads of silk.

At first, they offered just one star, the concept was expanded in 1931 to include one, two and three stars. One star establishments represent a “very good restaurant in its category”. Two honour “excellent cooking, worth a detour” and three reward “exceptional cuisine, worth a
