Cango Caves

The beautiful Cango Caves, close to Oudtshoorn, are known for their spectacular rock formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and other dripstone formations.  

The caves were  formed by the dissolution of Precambrian limestone over millions of years, creating a system of tunnels and chambers, and resulting in the spectacular rock formations.

The primary rock type in the Cango cave is limestone (CaCO3) from the Cango cave group. 

The caves have been discovered to extend naturally for well over 5km, but visitors can only explore about one-quarter of the entire system. ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
