Mirror Cave or Batu Cermin Cave is one such fascinating attraction in Labuan Bajo Bali that intrigues tourists with its magical and mystical powers.
Batu Cermin Cave is a dark cave in the stone hills of Labuan Bajo and is situated 4 kilometers from the main city. In this limestone tunnel cave, nature shows its magic once a day. The caves are known as the mirror caves due to the unique and natural phenomena that occur inside the caves.
Sunlight entering through the peepholes of the rocks bounces on the stone walls and these are again reflected to other small limestone walls creating an illuminating effect and a mirror-like gaze.
The mirror rock cave in Labuan Bajo is a popular tourist attraction among photographers and nature lovers and visiting the cave is the best thing to do in Bali. With stunning images of the illuminating caves, the mirror cave is the star of Labuan Bajo on Instagram.
The science behind the mirror cave is the presence of Stalactites and stalagmites in the rock that look sparkling. The content of salt in the rocks is believed to make stalactites and stalagmites appear shiny.
When tourists enter the cave, to their amazement there is also the presence of turtle and rock fossils that can be seen at the entrance. After walking a few distance from the entrance of the cave, for an adventurous experience, the cave gets narrower and deeper. Tourists might require a torch for an unforgettable caving experience.
