Among Rwanda’s hidden wonders lies the mysterious Musanze Caves, an awe-inspiring natural site carved into volcanic rock thousands of years ago. Located in the northern district of Musanze, these ancient caves stretch for about two kilometers beneath the earth, offering visitors a fascinating journey through history, geology, and culture. The caves were formed by centuries of volcanic activity from the Virunga mountains, leaving behind striking underground passageways and towering arch-like entrances.
