It's my first caving experience and it's exceeded my expectations. The cave was amazing and Paulo (the guide) was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed this adventurous tour very much. 💯

Amazing experience ! Excellent guide ! First time speleology and it was a great adventure. All materials included
Initiation to caving smoothly with a very friendly coach. We followed the underground river and admired the stalactics and mineral flowers of the caves. A great memory!
