Spelunking in Middle Caicos

Yours truly ( Matt Anderson ) spelunking in Middle Caicos, Turks and Caicos Islands.

 

Middle Caicos Indian Caves located on the tiny Turks & Caicos Islands in the Caribbean. Deep within you look up and see the lush jungle light protruding through the "holes".

 

Not far from this area is a tunnel that housed thousands of bats. (Which were bombarding me with fly-byes all within inches of my head at times) Holes in the caves on Middle Caicos, Turks and Caicos. Stalactites and stalagmites fill the damp and mysterious interior of the Conch Bar Caves on the Northern Coast of Middle Caicos. The largest caves in the entire Bahamian chain of island. Lucayan Indians occupied this area many centuries before they were exterminated by the Spanish. The caves have fresh water lakes with caverns meadering on for many miles.
