It was a Breath taking and transformational experience. We drove our own car, had a personal guide who spoke perfect English and had great sense of humor.

Really nice tour spelunking through an ancient cave. You will be offered an additional photographer for $20 in case you don't have a waterproof camera. You will be given rubber boots, so you don't have to worry about getting your shoes wet/muddy. The hardhat w/ head lamp was nice since I did bonk my head a few times!Our guide was excellent and pointed out birds and plants on our way to/from the cave. You'll spend roughly an hour walking, climbing, and crawling through caves. You'll see bats, insects, and tons of rock formations, including a gorgeous waterfall and a coral reef.Pace yourself if you're under the weather or out of shape. I overexerted myself and made myself sick by moving too quickly, but I was fine after sitting and enjoying the juice and cookies our guide gave us. The showers are clean and soap was provided. Just remember to bring an extra set of clothes and a towel.

This was our favorite activity. If you have a GoPro waterproof camera, bring it! Our guide was exceptional and had an excellent knowledge of the caves. In the caves, you will see families of bats, beautiful rock formations, fossils, and a waterfall. Bring a change of clothes and towels.

We toured the Venado Cave with Ecoterra, and they were amazing!! Upon arriving we were given helmets and headlamps for exploring. You follow a shallow underground river through the caves, exploring different caverns and squeezing through tight spaces. The smallest, tightest spaces were optional, which was a great option for our more claustrophobic travel partners. We saw a lot of bats, some spiders and a toad. You get very wet on this trip, at one point climbing behind a waterfall and swimming in a tunnel. The formations and cave structures are amazing to see. About an hour drive from our hotel in La Fortuna, I would not miss this if you are in the area!

Exciting, sometimes intense cave and underground river experience. Two of us were outfitted with helmet, headlamp and boots and personally guided through the caves - at times crawling through narrow crevices, wading on hands and knees through not-too-cold water, viewing some interesting mineral formations, watching bats and even seeing tiny crabs. There were moments of adrenaline rush, underground wonder and beauty and, of course, a good soaking. Wonderful experience, about an hour's drive from La Fortuna.
