This cave is no joke. There are several drops and climbs, very easy to get hurt. My friend almost died coming out of the cave when he grabbed a loose rock, he could have literally fallen to his death. There is also lots of bird poop, trash, fungus, and we even saw a snake. Dangerous but super thrilling. Proceed with caution, don't go during wet seasons, and bring a guide if you can. Follow the arrows!
