A cave by the river!
Very nicely shaped tunnel.
There are two entrances, the main, low entrance from the river bank rock, and another straight-down entrance from the top.
The cave is long, 126 meters, but the easily accessible part is just 24 meters, the rest is tight and may also be blocked by water unless it is dry season.
Here's the 3D scan-based map (of the part that is accessible, the cave continues further):
A high resolution version of the map is here. The model itself can be accessed here in GLB and Blender formats, you can also rotate it yourself on your browser screen.
The official map from the place itself has a more complete map:
My model looks like this:
The cave is open 9-21 during the tourist season. There's ample parking and an overall nice environment.
