Venado
Caves
Get
ready for an adventure unlike anything you have ever done before. You
will never be the same!
We start with a 45 minute drive to the private farm where the caves are
located. Upon arrival you will be given a flashlight & helmet, and
fitted for rubber boots (size 11 or larger must wear their own shoes).
Your expert bilingual naturalist guide will start with a brief history
of the caves.
A short hike later and you are standing in amazement at the river
flowing from the cave entrance. There are no lights or walkways, so you
will feel as if you are the first person to discover them. Turn on your
flashlight, jump into the river, and watch out for those spiders on the
walls! There is no turning back now. It’s a little difficult to walk up
the river, but that’s just part of the adventure. Be prepared to
squeeze through small holes, crawl through tight passages, climb small
rock formations, crawl on your stomach with only your head above water
in a narrow tunnel as fish swim by, or walk up small waterfalls. Feel
the air move around your face as of bats fly just above your head.
Notice how they have carved their nests out of solid rock. We seldom
lose a tourist!
Enjoy the numerous stalactites, stalagmites, coral, and chimneys as you
journey back in time. The “Papaya” formation is spectacular. This is an
experience you will never forget! Recommended only for GOOD fitness
levels.
Departure: 8am or 1pm
