| JEITA |
Jeita Grotto, closed for the past years, has recently opened its door with the collaboration of a German Company, to welcome the visitors who have been always fascinated by its splendid natural achievement. This cavern is rich in formations and galleries that extend for more than 6kms. It can be visited by the telepherique or a boat ride over a subterranean lake which is considered to be the main source of the Dog River (Nahr El Kalb).
Jeita caverns are on two levels. The lower galleries, discovered hazardously in 1836 and opened to the public in 1958, are visited by boat to a distance of approximately 500 m from the 6200 m explored. This part of the caverns takes you to a beautiful underworld millions of years in the making. But the 600-meter boat trip on a subterranean lake is only a sampling of the system that has been explored for almost 6,910 meters. |
