Published: April 15th 2017

After visiting one of the most beautiful Taman Negaras in Asia like Bako, I headed to Sarawak’s largest national park which is found near three mountains: Mulu, Api and Benarat and surrounded by rainforest. The reason why I came was to see the largest cave on the planet, which was one of those places that I used to see on many documentaries about Borneo, and also the particular rock formations ...

I was born on September 12 1983 in an Italian town called Rimini, located in the Emilia-Romagna province along the northern east coast of the Adriatic sea. I lived there for a few years up to the age of 7 and I then moved with my family to my mother native town Brescia, where I grew up and spent my adolescence. This idea about travelling around the world came up in 2006, a bit for the curiosity to see places that I watched on TV, when I was a child, and also with the goal to change lifestyle, to face new challenges, meeting and communicate with people of different cultures and learning t... full info

Looks like a very ancient place Marcos. The pinnacles as exposed in the open I presume are what remains of an eroded cave system. Yet below is another massive cave system, presumably much younger. Having done caving in my youth in non tourist (unlit) cave systems in Australia I also find them fascinating. Journey towards the Centre of the Earth was one of the scariest films I saw as a kid but heading into the bowels of the earth in real life caves with only torches can be terrifying and rewarding. That you can enter one of the world's major cave systems must have filled you with many emotions. Brilliant!

Hello Dave,About the Pinnacles: they are basically ancient corals that were eroded by the water and wind. During the formation, the corals have absorbed the atmospheric carbon dissolved in the ocean water to form these limestone Pinnacles. It is really astonishing to think that all the limestone present on earth is produced by living organism. As I said this was probably the best sight I have seen in that National Park. About the Deer Cave: I have to say that it became pretty much touristic unfortunately and so it was not that adventuring as I could expect but definitely very interesting.Even though I could only visit a tiny part of this massive Cave. I have a question dave: where exactly in Australia there are caves system? I also want to apologise about not being very much detailed with my blogs having visited most of the places a few years ago and my memory is not so fresh. Thanks so much for the comments you always write to my blogs, Dave.
