Nature vlogger, Angelo Caruana, guides us on another exciting trip, exploring the undeniable natural beauty that Malta has to offer.

In today’s vlog, Angelo takes us to the South of Malta in the vicinity of the areas of Birżebbuġa and Żurrieq to discover two fairly hidden caves overseeing the breath-taking Maltese cliffs.

The two caves that face each other are those known as Għar ir-Riħ and Għar in-Nagħaġ!

Angelo first takes us on the virtual tour of Għar ir-Riħ, where a tiny entrance covered with dripping water is instantly noticed.

The cave seemed quite dangerous, and, in fact, Angelo warns that “We need to be very careful”, as he puts a helmet on.

The cave itself was quite narrow and rough with extremely high ceilings,causing Angelo difficulty to get through.

It is all worthwhile for the views of the idyllic rock formations which took thousands of years to form and are full of history.

At the end of the cave, an opening was found looking right over the edge of the sea. This makes for quite the scary drop, but it has the most amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea!

Right opposite the Għar ir-Riħ cave, Ghar in-Nagħaġ can be found.

The cave has an even smaller entry and a significantly narrower path that that of Għar ir-Riħ.

You practically have to crawl to enter as the ceiling is extremely low.

All arachnophobes be warned as the cave has many spiderwebs with many probable spiders crawling all over!

This is all worth it though as the cave produces some of the most picturesque views!

Are you planning to visit the caves any time soon?
