Fontein Cave

Two of Aruba's most exciting sites are the Quadirikiri and Fontein caves. Both are part of the island's National Park Arikok.The cave has colorful stalactites, rock formations hanging down from the ceiling, and stalagmites, building up from the ground. Nocturnal long nosed and long tongues fruit bats call the cave their home.

Interesting way to mark the path. Is the cave wired for light? Or do you have to bring your own illumination, I wonder.

[Marnie]

Wow, that's a very neat and tidy cave. Great lighting.

@gardencat -thanks Joanna - no light in there, so it was kind of tricky to shoot - I think the paths are ancient paths

Fascinating! I could do without the bats though. :)
