You can visit the caves only accompanied by a local shaman (we had a woman).
The imposing grayish masses of granite, in the shape of potatoes, are up to 15 meters high. Scattered in the vegetation, the vast field of granite rocks extends over approximately 15 hectares and offers natural shelters conducive to the various ritual practices.
