Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
You can head deep into the bowels of the earth on this amazing expedition. Underground trails and passages will take us through several different caves to explore a world indifferent to the light. With lanterns to illuminate our way, as well as the necessary gear, we will enter this labyrinth of ancient underground rivers and sea beds, now exposed after millions of years. We will visit formations such as "the papaya"," the coral "," the altar ", and " the birthing canal", as well as stalactite and stalagmite rock formations that are common inside the caves, some of which hang from the rocky ceiling and others emerge from the ground. Large colonies of bats inhabit the caverns, as well as frogs and crabs. At the end of the tour you can enjoy a delicious snack of fresh fruit. This is a truly unique experience in Costa Rica. Get ready to get wet and dirty and discover this incredible underground world!
