As I'm secured to the safety line and slowly descend inside the misty forested cave walls I feel I've been transported back to prehistoric times. It looks unreal and for a moment I forget which country I'm in.
It takes 30 minutes to reach the river and once on firm, I need to clamber over rocks to reach the entrance of the Mangapu cave system, discovered in 1906, and which leads 2.5km in each direction. Looking back at the platform it seems unbelievably high.
