mapping Goa West by a joint team of Indonesian-French, Superman's Big
Sister is clearly not the end of the charm of the cave that terselinap
silent on the curve of the Karst South Gombong (KKGS). However, to meet
the great landscape of the West Goa, for us is more than enough to
satisfy the desire for adventure. If searches are forwarded deeper cave,
need supplies and equipment is more complete. It took many days as did
the expedition team to the point of being called Tataquine. Of
Superman's Big Sister, Tataquine still within more than 3 km to the
terrain more difficult and challenging.

is a strong wind from the direction of the cave that waft into the mouth
of the cave. The strong winds in the Java language is called west wind.
When a certain seasons, very strong west wind, causing noise even made
of bamboo trees in front of the mouth of the cave moves endlessly. When

is not stuffy and at some point unfelt breeze.
Panorama
West Goa is not just about a waterfall Superman's Big Sister. Goa West
has a famous nickname as Goa 100 waterfalls. Although never be
calculated precisely, the nickname of one hundred waterfalls that could
symbolize that the number of waterfalls in western Goa very much.
Assorted this waterfall altitude of 0.5 to 10 meters into the path tirta
of karst springs in depths up to go out into the river surface.
Some
of the waterfalls in Goa West has a name that first pinned
Indonesian-French expedition team, like Jump Ulysess (8 meters),
Takatsavone (8 meters) and Sister Morphine (5 meters). At some point, we
encountered rapids half a meter terraced form a sweet charm intertwined
with puddles.
Cermatilah
variety of ornaments that decorate the stalactite and stalagmite sweet
on each ceiling, walls and floors in Goa West. Along the way, we are not
bored orchestra entertained a variety of unique rock tangible, such as
beard stone, stone curtains, stone curtains, stone bud, rock crystal,
and many such other rocks. Occasionally, we also touched the fingers of
limestone rocks that have been hard to crystallize.In the space of the
cave called Sawahan, we are amazed at the landscape naturally formed
land into plots appropriate fields. Of course, it took thousands of
years for the water eroded the soil to harden it can create beauty in
the bowels of the earth are rare. Unfortunately, most of these Sawahan
been damaged, left just on the outskirts of the unreached of footprints
searchers cave.
Goa

example, the hall presents a Tomb Stone rocks like gravestones are often
used by people as a 'mujahadah'. There is also a hall Kratonan offer
ornate floor and ceiling rock-strewn white crystals which can flicker

Exploring
West Goa serves a complete dish for those who like a challenge. Along
the way, we had to walk the full carefully follow the flow of water
underground river. Some have to immerse yourself in chest-deep water,
stepping stones taper on the edge of the river, avoiding the puddles
deep, three meters high cascade crawl, sometimes have to walk crouched
in the narrow hallway. Even so, the travel safety guaranteed by a guide
who had memorized the terrain Goa West.
If
you want to keep searching Goa West in mild doses, the manager has to
polish short corridor about 300 meters connecting two cave door.
Throughout this hall has been built and equipped a cement floor
lighting. Travelers can hunt ornaments stalactites and stalagmites are
captivating in this hall, but have not been able to meet with a
waterfall, the belle of Goa West.
Do
not try to enter the hall in Goa West are without adequate equipment
and with a guide. The terrain is not easy and dangerous, it took six
hours to traverse the Western Cave.
