Umlando wokutholakala kwemifula
Ekupheleni kwekhulu le-18. Epulazini eliseduze, izimvu zanyamalala. Ekhathazekile inkosi engekho, uFonscape othile, wathumela isigqila ukuba simfune. Ngenkathi yokucwaninga yafinyelela emgodini ojulile, owawugcina umkhondo womkhuba wesizwe sama-Afrika - amaBushmen. Ngemva kokuyihlola ndawonye, babona umgodi ugoqa phansi emgodini.

Ngakho-ke, ukungena emaphandleni eCango kwavuleka ngengozi, ngokushesha okwaba yindawo ekhangayo kunazo zonke izivakashi.
Ngekhulu le-19. ukungena emhumeni kwakuvikelwe ngokomfanekiso, izivakashi zithatha izicucu eziningi ze-stalactites nezi-stalagmites, zishiya ukubhaliswa ezindongeni.

Izinto eziningi ezitholwe ngumsebenzi uJohnny Wassenaar, owakhonza iminyaka engu-43. Kwavulelwa ama-tunnel amaningi. Ngokomunye wezinganekwane, wakwazi ukungena ngaphakathi emaphandleni angu-25 km. Nokho, lolu lwazi aluqinisekisiwe.
Cango Caves namuhla
Manje isakhiwo esiyinkimbinkimbi esenziwe nge-limestone sandstone, esinezigaba ezintathu, sifinyeleleka kuzivakashi. Ubude bawo buphelele bungaphezu kwamakhilomitha amane. Ikhamera enkulu kunayo yonke inkundla yebhola lebhola. Izigaba phakathi kwamahholo zigcwele ngokwanele, kodwa njengoba zisuka emnyango omncane. Umhlobiso wangempela yi-stalactites nama-stalagmites wesimo esiyinqaba. Ukucabanga kuyazanyazanyiswa yi "IHholo Le-Organ" - umhume omkhulu lapho ama-stalactites ewela phansi ezindongeni enza uhlobo oluthile lwesitho esikhulu. Amadwala we-Sedimentary enza ukuhlanganiswa okungaqondakali kwemibala, futhi ukusetshenziswa kwemiphumela ekhanyayo neminye eyengeziwe kwenza i-grotto ibe yindawo engavamile engaphansi komhlaba.
Amapulangwe agcina izinga lokushisa okungaba ngu-18-20 degrees, kanti umswakama uphakeme kakhulu.
Uhambo olujwayelekile luhlala emaminithini angu-50, futhi kulula kakhulu - ukuhlola amahholo amakhulu ayisithupha amakhulu, ngalinye ngalinye linalo legend kanye negama.
Esikhathini sokuhamba kwe-adventure, izakhamuzi zizohlinzekwa ukuba zizivivinye ngamandla futhi zikhuphuke emaqenjini amancane, zihambe "emgodini kaDeveli" oyingqayizivele ngaphandle kokuhamba emahholo. Konke kunikezwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izivakashi zizwa ziphephile futhi zikhululekile.
