Nature has bestowed the Northwest region with majestic limestone mountains, cool green forests stretching along with rivers and streams murmuring day and night. In the flow of history through millions of years of movement, nature has also left many imprints of creation, and the caves in the mountains with magical stalactites have become vivid symbols, masterpieces that captivate visitors.

In Thai, “ Pu Sam Cap ” means three large mountains stacked on top of each other. Pu Sam Cap is the name of a karst limestone mountain range, formed from the tectonic era. The Pu Sam Cap cave complex is located along provincial road 129 to the Sin Ho plateau, about 6km west of Lai Chau town center at an altitude of 1,700m above sea level.

With its magnificent, majestic and mysterious beauty, Pu Sam Cap cave is also known as the “paradise of caves”. This cave complex was discovered in July 2006. Pu Sam Cap consists of more than 10 large and small caves, of which the 3 main caves are Thien Mon, Thien Duong and Thuy Tinh.
Following the stone steps up the mountain to begin your journey of discovery, visitors will arrive at Thien Mon Cave. A large and deep arch appears, a cool feeling from the stone and the gentle breeze will make visitors feel extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Leaving Thien Mon Cave, visitors will have an exciting journey through a pristine forest path to reach Thien Duong Cave. If Thien Mon Cave is likened to the theater of creation, Thien Duong Cave is likened to a miniature painting of a fairyland.

Although Thuy Tinh is one of the three main caves, due to its unfavorable location, it has not yet met the safety conditions to receive tourists. Until now, Thuy Tinh Cave is still a mystery, promising many mysterious and attractive things for visitors who love adventure.
