3 months agoJeita Grotto is a true natural wonder. The natural beauty of the caves is breathtaking, with stunning stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over thousands of years. The experience is divided into two parts: the upper grotto, where you can walk through the impressive formations, and the lower grotto, where a serene boat ride takes you through a magical underground river.

2 months agoThe place is amazing, deeper and more than you can imagine. It's dividend into two grottos the Upper and the lower. You can either hike the round or take the small train to the top of the mountain and enter the Upper Grotto and walk down to the middle of the mountain after and enter the lower. Some of the facilities are in need of repairs. But the Grottos and boats are well maintained. The information boards need renewal but the place is so breath taking that any additional information will just blow your mind. They are very strict about photography and while you can sneak your cellphone in, please be mindful and don't use your camera flash. With the visit, early morning visits recommend since it's less crowded. Enjoy natural beauty at its best!

5 months agoA place like no other, breathtaking caves, but unfortunately phones aren't allowed inside. So you have to leave them at some very old lockers. But it's safe
