Gruta de las Maravillas, Show cave in Aracena, Spain.
The cave system extends over 2,130 meters underneath Aracena, featuring multiple chambers filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and karst formations.
Mining operations led to the discovery of the cave in 1850, and it opened to the public in 1914 as one of Spain's first tourist caves.
The cave holds traces of prehistoric human presence and contains underground lakes that reflect the mineral formations on their surfaces.
The cave maintains temperatures between 16 and 19 degrees Celsius year-round, with guided tours lasting 45 minutes through illuminated pathways.
The cave consists of three superimposed gallery levels, creating a natural underground structure with geological formations shaped over millions of years.
