🤔 What is caving?

It’s an exploration of the underground world. A journey underground, to discover a world unsuspected by those with their feet firmly on the ground. Stalactites, stalagmites, draperies. The caves of the Ardèche are veritable natural cathedrals, shaped by water over time. Each cave is different. Everything about this universe is fascinating: the colours, the sparkle, the shape of the concretions, the unperturbed dripping of the water that has shaped the underground landscape for thousands of years, the silence… You progress from immense chambers to narrower passages, and each time it’s a new source of wonder ✨
