water that seeped through cracks in the<br />

limestone pooled up and over thousands<br />

of years etched out corridors and halls as it<br />

flowed. The walls have breathtaking gleaming<br />

stalactite and stalagmite formations,<br />

which have gorgeous red, yellow, and white<br />

colors. he tallest chambers is called the Giants<br />

Hal, and is 200 m long and 60 m high.<br />

seen on the photo is used to hold concerts<br />

and performances there. In the caves tour<br />

trips, which offer many interesting, exciting,<br />

and unforgettable experiences for both<br />
