Excellent but really challenging

Deborah_P, Feb 2022
First, let me say that this is a very physically challenging excursion. The cave requires extensive climbing and supporting your weight in awkward positions. You need to wear thick clothing and you will be covered in clay by the end. That being said, It is stunning and magnificent. Rudy, our guide was intelligent and very knowledgeable. He was on time and well prepared. We recommend it
