Great experience; it took us out of our comfort zone; experiencing total darkness and feeling the flight and the squeaks of the bats was amazing!
Amazing experience exploring the caves with Andrey. The owner, Natalia, was very helpful and flexible. If you don't have your own transportation, ask her about alternative arrangements.
I thought it was chevere but I didn't understand the part where the guide started dancing, that was the only strange thing, the rest of the landscape and the writings of the indigenous were super wow I hope not to return because my partner finished me on this trip and also I dropped my camera but it doesn't matter, thanks for this refreshing experience.
The view is amazing, the cave is magnificent and the guide very committed, informed us about everything about the area and important things, care for the environment and the importance of not affecting nature
Very interesting tour and contact with nature, our guide Jasmine was very friendly and attentive, explained each gallery we visited inside the cave, it is very interesting to know our ancestors, we liked it very much. Something to improve is to tell the people who go on the tour the importance of being silent when you are in a sacred and important place, besides interrupting us with so many screams and noises from the other group and the guide could not concentrate, and disturbed the animals of the cave, on the other hand, they should not allow access to pets, it was uncomfortable to do the tour with two dogs because they are not used and barked and cried a lot, it is not normal for them those types of places and thinking about their well-being, the walk is not appropriate for their legs and neither is contact with the guano of the bats good. I highly recommend this activity, very interesting, the guides and other staff very friendly and respectful.
It is a great experience, since you arrive the staff very kindly receive you the necessary information and equipment, you have to go prepared to do physical activity as you have to go up and down a mountain, not recommended for very old adults or with limitations
Very good information from the Nicolas Guide, a unique experience inside the cave and the connection there was in a section of the cave. Super recommended!
A great experience, we did a hike where we learned about the area, its ecosystem and its history; when we arrived at the cave we could see some types of bat, the geology and how the cave was used in each rite anciently. I recommend to bring water and go prepared for the hike, we had a great time!
Lovely place. Nice landscapes. Walk medium difficulty. In the cave you feel a nice energy Nicolas was very good, friendly and knows many things about the caves. Recommended for children and adults. 35 minutes by cart from Villa de leyva 21⁄2 hours away
The information, attention and communication was awesome. Our guide Diego was very attentive his stories were nice, and was also very listening and open minded. His knowledge of the trail, the caves and the overall region were exceptional. I very much recommend this trek to locals and foreigners.
