LolTun Cave-1

Lol Tun, Mexico

The guides delight in showing off the "Musical" columns, on which they tap out a tune with a rubber hammer.
If you pound on the two formations in succession, they sound like "Lol" and "Tun" which reverberates through the cave.

There was also some tradition about walking between the formations as some sort of fertility rite.
