Earth’s Biggest Cave Will Blow Your Mind

For how astonishing it is, Vietnam’s Son Doong Cave has flown under the radar. Just discovered in 2009, this enormous cave meaning “Mountain River Cave” was stumbled upon by a farmer in the deep jungle of central Vietnam. It has depth and scale that will drop your jaw, and some spectacular natural wonders inside, including waterfalls, 10-story stalagmites, enormous ‘cave pearls’ and dense patches of jungle in places where the cave roof has collapsed.

The Permian limestone cave is so large a 747 jumbo jet could fly through most parts of it. An entire New York City block could also occupy the interior, skyscrapers included.

Commercial tours are limited to a few hundred explorers per season, with each explorer spending several thousands of dollars to get a chance to visit this amazing natural wonder.

The trips include trekking, traversing underground rainforests, paddling down otherworldly cave rivers, and scaling ‘The Great Wall of Vietnam’, a 90 meter climb.  All this while experiencing once-in-a-lifetime camping, ⛺️ with meals provided.

If you’ve been looking for a bucket list trip, this could just be it.  Via National Geographic:
