Introduction

Cango Caves is a large natural limestone cave located 30 kilometers north of Oudtshoorn. It is famous among tourists and features ancient Bushman paintings near the cave entrance. Inside the cave, there are vast caverns with impressive stalagmites and stalactites, some of which are over 10 meters tall and date back over 150,000 years. The cave's acoustics are known to be exceptional, with symphony orchestras having performed there in the past. As you explore further, you'll come across massive limestone columns and stalactites illuminated by colorful lights, creating a surreal atmosphere reminiscent of a music hall or theater.
