About San Antonio: Discovery Tour at Natural Bridge Caverns Day Tours

Speaking of this cave, the discovery process was very dramatic. This place was not discovered by some scientific research experts, but was discovered by four college students inadvertently in 1960. It is very well protected and is the largest living stalactite forest in Texas. It is very classic and also A must for tourists who come here. There is a lime slate at the entrance of the cave connecting the highlands on both sides, hence the name of the cave. It can be said that the cave is very worth seeing. It is a relatively mild milkstone grove shortly after entering. When you go to the depths, the stone shape slowly becomes weird, like a magnificent palace. The humidity in the cave is relatively heavy, so it is suitable for viewing in all seasons.
