What You Can Expect

There are unique water currents, ecosystems and rock formations in the caves dating back hundreds of thousands of years. Even though the natives were aware of the caverns existence they were not formally explored until the 1960?s by a Mr. Robert Vergenes who was a French explorer. These caverns are home to different species like spiders, crabs, insects, and fish, even though the tectonic movement provoked the rising of?the?caverns?only 10 of the 450 are accessible.

As you travel through the narrow pathways you will notice they are humid and dark which are not ideal for toddlers, disabled people or anyone who suffers from claustrophobia. Fast drying attire is essential considering the wet and humid environment along with the dripping water from the limestone and the river which runs through the caverns.
