| The Cango Caves, located near the town of Oudtshoorn in South Africa's Western Cape province, are a prominent natural attraction known for their extensive network of chambers and limestone formations. The caves were discovered in the late 18th century by a local farmer. Formed from Precambrian limestone, the caves feature a variety of stalactites and stalagmites, including stalagmites, stalactites, and spiral stalactites. | |
| Evidence suggests these caves were used by indigenous people long before their discovery by Europeans, including the San and Khoikhoi people. The cave system stretches for over 4 kilometers, but only a portion is open to the public. | |
