Explore Cuevas Charco Azul, Arenas and Playa de Aguas Cristalinas

About this experience

Our certified biologists or interpreter guides will offer you a great educational adventure. At the established time our transporter will pick you up at the meeting point in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. About an hour will pass by and you will arrive at the area where our guides will receive you, provide you with the necessary protective equipment for cave exploration (helmet, lamps and life jackets) and explain the tour agenda and safety rules. You will walk for 15 minutes and arrive at Las Cuevas de Arenales where you will swim in a small canyon formed by the passage of water. We will continue our tour and you will be able to take an adrenaline-filled jump into the water to enter the underground world of the Charco Azul Caves. There you will see a waterfall and the formations created by minerals and water through the limestone rock where the caves are formed. We will return to the car to go to lunch and arrive at a paradisiacal beach where you can cool off. Return to the meeting point.
