Barra Honda Caves Tour

Plunging deep into the earth (in some places as far as 787 ft. down), the limestone caves at Barra Honda glisten with stalagmites and stalactites, and offer up a wonderful place for adventurous underground exploration.

This guided tour begins with a short hike through the park's dry tropical forest before heading underground. As you descend into caves, you'll hear the sound of water dripping against rocks, and see the twisted, ghost-like formations of hardened calcium all around you.

After a few hours spent exploring the ins-and-outs of the caves, you'll emerge aboveground and have lunch before ending the day with a visit to the Guaitil indigenous village. Here you'll have the opportunity to purchase some of the country's finest Chorotegan pottery.

This is an all day tour.

This tour is not recommended for people who are claustrophobic or afraid of the dark. The minimum age is 10 years old.

What to bring: hiking shoes, camera, binoculars, shorts, hat, and sunscreen
Tour includes: guide, transportation, flashlight, helmet and lunch
