Intro
Martvili Canyon and Prometheus Cave are one the most visited sites in all of Georgia, and for good reason. These sites count among the natural wonders of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. A 2,5 km long canyon with 80 m high steep rock walls and foggy subtropical forest makes the place unique. The nearby Prometheus Cave, with its hundreds of natural halls shaped by geological formations such as stalactites and stalagmites, gives the best opportunity to immerse yourself in the mystical nature of the Caucasus.
