The trail to the Cave of Death follows an ominous path across an old-fashioned wooden bridge, down narrow corridors and past mossy rocks all while under a layer of thick jungle canopy. The name “Cave of Death” and the wet, dimly lit walk creates an air of foreboding. The thrilling feeling changes to goose bumps as a stony walkway leads you to face a black entrance which unexplainably pulls you towards it’s mouth. The natural rock has been naturally stacked to create a deep and narrow cavern with paths reaching 20 meters deep and 200 meters in length coupled with the sound of water murmuring deep below. In contrast to the Mountain Spirit Cave, the experience within the Cave of Death is completely different. To pass through its walls, the passages require you to guide your body through narrow paths in the rocks, crawling and ducking under low outcroppings. A refreshing feeling overwhelms your chest as the way forward becomes apparent. Sunshine, fresh air and the excitement of reaching the end of the path couple with the joy of conquering your fears!
