Cave of Valporquero, Show cave in Vegacervera, Spain.
The limestone cave system extends 1300 meters through six chambers, each presenting different geological formations from stalactites to underground lakes and bridges.
The provincial government of León opened this natural formation to public visits in 1966, implementing electrical lighting and constructing pathways for safe exploration.
The cave's chambers received names based on their characteristics, including Fairy Room, Great Round Hall, and the Room of Wonders, reflecting local interpretations.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 7 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring warm clothing for the guided tours.
The underground river system creates a natural humidity level of 99 percent, contributing to the continuous formation of mineral deposits within the cave.
