The Crystal Caves
Many people arrive expecting to find formations of crystal rock. But don’t be surprised: the name for these caves comes from the incredibly clear turquoise water in the pools within the caves, so clear in fact, that you can easily see the bottom through 55 feet of water.
There are, of course, plenty of formations for you to see. Guides will escort you along the pontoon bridges that crosses the pools (primarily to make sure you don’t touch the formations, which would interrupt their growth) and point out the incredible formation that resembles the Manhattan skyline. He or she is also likely to remind you of the difference between stalactites and stalagmites: stalactites grow down from the cave’s ceiling, while stalagmites grow up from the cave floor. Both grow slowly (1 cubic inch every 100 years) and depend on the remorseless dripping of water on stone. When stalactites and stalagmites meet and grow together, they are known simply as columns.
