About Cavernas de Venado

A limestone cave system carved by an underground river, with stalactites, named formations and bats. You go in with a helmet, a torch and boots, and you come out wet and dirty. Not for anyone who struggles with tight spaces: there are passages where you have to crouch and squeeze.

What to expect

About two hours inside the cave, plus travel: the whole tour takes four to six hours.
You walk in ankle-deep water and in some passages you have to crouch and squeeze through.
Stalactites, named rock formations and bats.
Not suitable for anyone who struggles with enclosed spaces.
