Fingal’s Cave at the Isle of Staffa

Location: Scotland, United Kingdom

Located somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, there is an island of the Inner Hebrides in Argyll and Bute in Scotland called the Isle of Staffa. This island is uninhabited since 1800, and within it, you can find an amusing cave to explore, called the Fingal’s Cave. This exciting spot is a sea cave, and it is best known for its natural acoustics. Yes, it’s true, just because of its size and naturally arched roof, together with the sound produced by the echoes of the waves, it gives you the impression like you’re inside of some natural cathedral. Oher than its spectacular melodic mark, this cave is also quite pleasant to the eye. The rock formations and the set of natural events created the beautiful basalt columns that are spread around the whole place. The water also enters inside, which makes it easily accessible by a little boat or by diving. If you want to visit something strange and beautiful at the same time, then this destination is worth the journey.

Marble Caves at General Carrera Lake

Location: Patagonia, Argentina, and Chile, South America

The natural wonders in this part of the world are capable of leaving you speechless in the first moment you step your foot there. And the Marble Caves are no exception. To be more explicit – they are exceptionally stunning. The spectrum of colors that this natural attraction possesses leaves the impression that you are staring at a perfect painting, instead of natural creation. The sight is completely fascinating when you add the turquoise waters of the Carrera Lake that occasionally splash into the Marble Caves, adding up some more colors from the lovely pallet. If you are interested in visiting this destination (and honestly how can you not be), then you have to catch a ferry from a little town called Puerto Tranquillo that will take you to and through the tunnels of this lovely rock formation.

Hang Son Doong Cave in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park

Location: Bo Trach District, Quang Binh Province, Vietnam

The world’s most giant cavern is known to be found in Vietnam. It is so monstrously huge that it even has its world inside of it. Firstly found by a local name called Ho Khanh in 1991, this place has been explored by experts and curious hearts for many years now. It is so big that it has its forest inside and a lovely river. Its central passage is more than 5 kilometers long, which is quite a challenging terrain to try and discover in a day. Special tours are organized for the ones interested. However, these are not done on a daily basis, and they cost quite a lot. The lack of trips organized here is also due to the natural events such as the heavy rain raising the level of the river inside the caves that made it quite impossible to access it. If you have the chance to visit it someday, you will be impressed by the size of it, since inside you will feel like an ant. It’s amazing!

Benagil Sea Cave

Location: Algarve, Portugal

There is a spectacular cave in Portugal, in a small village called Benagil, where tourists love spending their vacation time. And what’s so special about this destination is that the cavern is not that fascinating as the previous ones we have mentioned, but it has something to be proud of – probably one of the most beautiful hidden beaches on Earth. So if you go to Praia de Benagil, make sure not to miss going to the charming beach found within the walls of the cave there. You probably imagine this place as a dark place where you can sit on the sand and slowly freeze because of the lack of sun. Well, luckily you are wrong because there is a hole in the ceiling of the cavern that lets some sunshine light up the interior and provides you with enough sunlight to lie down on the soft sand and enjoy a little sunbathing. It’s quite impressive so check it out!
