Magil cave is one of the
largest caves in Armenia;
its area is 1.7km deep but there are many offshoots that have not been
entirely explored. The cave was inhabited as far back as the Neolithic
period: bear bones, stone tools and other Stone Age implements have been
found inside the cave, along with more “recent” finds from the
9th century. Because of its depth, the cave maintains a constant
temperature of 14 degrees centigrade (58 degrees Fahrenheit). The main
passageway varies from an area just large enough for a person to crawl
through to a spacious chamber 10-15 meters in width. There are a few
stalactites and stalagmites. Magil has a unique underground
eco-system, home to thousands of bats. The cavern has since been
closed off and locked and can only be entered with professional guide.
Mozrov cave-The caves are 3000m in depth and have stunning
formation. Discovered in the 1970s during road building and still not
completely mapped. It is full of spectacular colored stalagmite and
stalactite formations. The Bear cave and several other caves are in the
same area. It can be entered only with professional guide.
