A limestone cave system in an eastern park of the capital where a collapsed cavern roof reveals a series of open-air freshwater lagoons, traditionally counted as three eyes though a fourth pool also exists. Stairways descend past stalactites into cool, fern-draped chambers, and a small hand-hauled raft ferries visitors to the furthest lake. The turquoise water and filtered light make it a favourite for photographs. The site combines geological interest with an easily accessible slice of nature within the city limits.
