UPSTAIRS.
From this floor you access the visit, we will
make a tour, where we will go down three floors for a duration of a
little more than an hour.
We will travel about 600 meters, although more than 2,000 meters are known in the cave.
This first gallery is 14 meters high and 51 meters long.
On the ceiling you can see sets of "domes" formed by the convection of various CO2 gases and others that have been creating corrosion processes to give these forms of domes and walls eroded by this effect.
The hot waters of the thermal river provide these CO2 gases that affect the calcareous rock and erode it over thousands of years.
This set of domes, and other elements that shape the cavity are called morphologies, typical of hydrothermal caves, and in the Grotte du Chameau they are very evident and numerous that make it a thermal cave of world reference.
Upon reaching the bottom of this gallery we can see the lower gallery located at 40 m depth creating a volume of rooms of more than 24,000 cubic meters.
