MEDIA STATEMENT
Temporary Closure of Cango Caves
The management of Cango Caves wishes to inform the public that the caves have been temporarily closed due to rock falls affecting access roads in the area. The affected roads have been closed as a precautionary safety measure. As a result, the site is currently inaccessible to visitors and staff.
All tours and visitor activities at the caves are therefore suspended until further notice while assessments and road clearing operations continue. The safety of the public remains the highest priority, and management is working closely with the relevant authorities to monitor the situation and restore access as soon as it is safe to do so.
Members of the public are requested to avoid the affected area and adhere to all road closure notices and instructions issued by officials.
Management apologises for the inconvenience and appreciates the public’s understanding and cooperation. Further updates will be communicated through official channels.
Our Tour Options

An easy walk through the first six largest and most spectacular halls and continuing through to the "African Drum room".
This tour commences with information on the real discoverers and inhabitants of the cave and then winds its way through the rest of the Caves’ cultural and historical heritage.
A comfortable walk through the most majestic of the cave chambers. Experienced and knowledgeable guides will accompany you on this journey of discovery and knowledge. Around 60 minutes is required to complete the tour.
ADVENTURE TOUR
A challenging tour, with exciting passages and narrow tunnels, requiring a degree of fitness. For lean people only!
This experience goes to the deeper parts of the tourist route. The tour will require you to crawl, slide on your belly (or back) and climb to get a genuine idea of what spelunking is.
Through memorable spaces like Lumbago Alley, Devils Chimney and the aptly named Devils Postbox, this experience is one never to be forgotten. The duration of the tour is about 90 minutes.
