Word on the street is, this beautiful place received the name “Hell’s Pit” years ago when a carriage fell in and was never recovered. Some say underneath the water, is a portal to the underworld. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Benagil Cave is one of the most stunning natural caves on the planet and can only be reached by water. A handful of people have asked how to get inside so here’s the scoop:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. You can kayak like we did. You’ll pay an outrageous amount for only 45 minutes, but I def don’t regret it. If you’re experienced, it’ll only take 5 minutes from the beach. It took us a bit longer because we had no clue what we were doing lol.
2. Some people swim it if the current isn’t too strong. Apparently it’s around an 8 minute swim. Please do not drown ok 😭
3. You can book a boat tour, but from my understanding, most of the boats don’t let you off to take photos so do your research before booking! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter how you decide to get inside the cave, I promise you the journey will be well worth it!
It’s so satisfying being able to scratch another destination off of my Modern Traveler map every time I return home from a trip. I love how I can scratch off the countries, as well as their flags, and pin the places I plan to explore next! Literally the perfect gift for any traveler. Head over to @moderntravelerinc so you can get yours too 🌍

perspective.
As much as I enjoy the city, this trip made me realize that I am at my happiest when I am outdoors 🌞
HOW IS THIS EVEN REAL 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To get here we rented a kayak that cost 30 euros for 45 minutes (A SCAM 😂), but it was totally worth it. We had no idea how to kayak so we ended up further out in the ocean than we should have and I may or may not have hit @julian.dpt in the head with my oar a few times, but we made it alive! It was def an adventure. I’ve been stalking this place for a while now and it felt amazing to finally be able to witness it for myself.
