Cavernas del río Nus, Cave system in Caracolí, Colombia.
The Cavernas del Río Nus extends 220 meters in length and 50 meters in vertical range, featuring nine chambers with marble formations and five-meter-high stalagmites.
Local resident Adolfo Jaramillo Muñetón discovered the cave system on October 12, 1932, when he ventured through a rocky entrance with one of his workers.
The chambers received names reflecting Colombian heritage, including El Colombiano, El Zoológico, Neptuno, and Blanquita, each containing over 5,000 cubic meters of space.
Access requires a three-hour journey from Caracolí town, combining motorcycle transport to Virginias village followed by horseback riding along the Nus River.
The cave interior displays natural formations in cinnamon, bone white, and light pink colors, with stalactites creating curtain-like patterns throughout multiple chambers.
