Inside Ngarua Cave

The Ngarua Cave on New Zealand’s West Coast is one of the few artificially-lighted caves in the country, and one of even fewer that allow photography. The tour is certainly worth it, as it takes visitors through the cave while learning about both its geography and history. Inside the cave, you can even see the bones of now-extinct Moa birds that fell to their deaths through the sink holes leading into the cave.

Walking in Prehistoric Caves

The caves in the Serra da Capivara National Park are truly stunning - even the ones left unpainted by our prehistoric cousins. The fourth blog post in this series features a few of the cave walks through the park, which are best enjoyed on local anthropological tours that will guide you through the history and interpretation of the cave paintings.
