Chief among its many splendors, is found in the caves of Lake Bayano in Panama. The caves were formed over many centuries by an underground river that still flows today, the erosion of limestone, and a combination of several factors as wind and floods. The path inside the cave lasts about four hours, with a degree of difficulty with easy parts but some parts moderately difficult, requiring more physical effort. The terrain include river crossings, large rocks, slippery ground etc.  There are areas where light penetrates to areas where we need to use lamps.
