USA Mammoth Cave, Kentucky A vast limestone labyrinth, Mammoth Cave stretches for over 426 miles and is the longest cave system in the world. This geological wonder was formed over millions of years by the slow erosion of underground rivers, revealing a striking subterranean landscape. Join a guided tour through corridors, tunnels, and historic sections once used for saltpetre mining. GRENADA Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park Off Grenada’s west coast, a short boat ride from the capital St. George, sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor has created an underwater sculpture park. Located within the Molinière- Beauséjour Marine Protected Area, it has around 75 life-sized concrete figures, including a circle of 26 children holding hands. This concrete park acts as an artificial reef, encouraging coral growth and marine biodiversity. Since the art is at depths of 4-7 metres, visitors can snorkel or dive to view it. Glass-bottom boat tours also offer a glimpse into this surreal subterranean gallery.
