Bellamar Cave

Cuevas de Bellamar, Bellamar Cave
Cuba, Varadero
Bellamar Cave is located 30 minutes from Varadero and 3 kilometers from the provincial center of Matanzas.

The cave was discovered in 1850 by chance - local shepherds wandered into it, looking for a lost sheep. However, only a hundred years later the cave became accessible to everyone - after thousands of tons of limestone were raked and water was pumped out. But it was worth it, since Belyamar is a real treasure trove, containing many unique stones and rare beautiful crystals. The crystalline formation "Columbus' Cloak" is a masterpiece of nature 12 meters high, like a curtain hanging in folds of crystals. The “Gothic Hall” is a huge underground grotto, reaching 80 meters long and 25 meters wide. Bellamar is a fairly large cave, in the depths of which bizarre stalagmites and stalactites are hidden, the oldest of which reach an age of 40 thousand years. Through the cave, among other things, a stream flows with the purest cool water.

We rested at the Melia Varadero 5 * hotel, and bought an excursion "Jeep Safari" The excursion included a visit to the Belyamar cave. If you were in the caves of the Crimea, then almost the same ...although you can’t compare like that, sorry. It’s bad, of course, the guide accompanying us didn’t speak Russian very well. It was hard to understand what he was telling us. But still we go down into the depths of the cave and, as it were, plunge into another world, Coolness and even a little creepy, because we understand that we are in the depths of our earthly bowels.
