3 weeks 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.

a month agoThis is a true world wonderland. I was amazed with what I saw inside. This is a one of a kind place that you won’t find elsewhere in the world. It’s a must visit place for once in your life at least. I will visit again for sure.

3 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

3 months agoBe sure to visit. You can enjoy amazing works of art created by nature. In the first cave, you can enjoy the depth and grandeur, and in the second, you can take a boat tour of the cave and have a short but enjoyable experience. Admission is almost $9, but it's worth it. Photography is not allowed in the first cave and cameras (mobile phones) are thoroughly inspected. I believe this is a necessary measure for safety and protection of the stone. Second, because the cave is an underground river, photography is allowed to some extent, so you can leave it as a souvenir.
