Cango Caves

With my mind blowing experience of the Swartberg Pass still fresh in my swede, our mine hosts treats us to the delights of the Cango Caves, some 30 km from Oudtshoorn. They are among the biggest dripstone formations, stalagmites, stalactites and helictite roof formations in the world. One can go for extensive subterranean walks in the widely branching caves with some of the sandstone formations colourfully illuminated. There is guided tours with various levels of difficulity, and believe me the letter box route is a one way trip not for the faint hearted or those unfortunate enough to be carrying a few kilo's to many.
