What's in those big caves?

Some routes, and a huge space with sandy ground.

Thank you - those photos are really impressive. I asked as there are extensive caves in quartzite/sandstone in Venezuela but then noticed that the rock at Itatim seems to be gneiss. I wonder what the processes are that form those big, semi-circular voids?

Obviously ancient alien technology!

You're welcome!

Yes the rock is gneiss. This kind of erosion is called Tafone and it's caused by a combination of factors, mainly chemical processes and wind. (which blows constantly in Itatim).

All planned by the alien technology lol
