Cape Spora is a very interesting natural object, composed of layered lavas of the Chirip volcano during its numerous eruptions. Its layered lavas resemble the scales of a mythical dragon, but the most interesting feature on this cape is a stone arch called the Dragon's Eye... The dragon has a name — his name is Chiripaktel.
