My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our adventure at Venado caves. If you love exploring you will love this. We actually went behind a waterfall inside the cave. There is a lot of crawling and climbing but well worth it. You have to wear a helmet with a light on it. Absolutely would recommend this.We went through Desafio Tours for this.
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.
通过夕阳旅游(Sunset tours)(他们很棒哦!)预订的这次旅行。有一个叫Jason的很棒的导游。他在约定的时间准时出现在酒店。驾车去洞穴很好,大约45分钟,期间Jason回答我们各种问题,他还给我们讲了这里的历史。一到这里我们就迅速穿上提供的橡胶靴,戴上安全帽,进入洞穴入口,在那里我们看到一只吼猴,哇噢!这是第一只对我们吼叫的动物。还有其他生物如蝙蝠,蜘蛛,壁虎,还有在浅水里的猫鱼和螃蟹,在洞穴里穿梭。很多能够预计到的在石灰岩洞里的钟乳石和石笋。有些洞穴大,有些小。我们时而头向前匍匐前进,时而脚向前爬,时而弯腰,时而攀爬,有时步行,有时奔跑,有时被浸泡在水里,等等。看到了数百万年的化石。这是个很棒的体验,任何想要找到一些在哥斯达黎加不同体验的人都应该来试一下。虽然,想要好好玩一下还要有好的身体状况,Jason说他会根据游客的身体状况调整路线,根据我们给他提供的反馈,他为我们选了一个颇具挑战性的体验路线。等我们出来以后,他给我们切了一些水果,给这次体验以恰到好处的结束。料到了会被浸湿,也明白任何冒险都会有风险,单最重要的是享受。此外,还有一个关于这里的网站,上面有些有用的信息。
导游非常好,我们组里面很多人都退出了,因为他们害怕密闭的环境,导游开始有点吓到他们了。我建议大家穿长裤,因为可能会爬行一段距离。
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.
We drove their on our own. They assigned us a guide. You have the option to hire a photographer. The guide was very knowledgable. We learned a lot from him. The route was well designed and timed well. You will need some minimum level of fitness, but they can adjust the route for you. This is a great adventure for the whole family.
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.
Wow! This was a big step for me. I really wanted to go through this cave, but I'm claustrophobic. Let me tell you honestly. At first, I was a little freaked out. There are a couple small holes to fit through, but 85% of the cave is big rooms. You go through shallow water most of the time, but it helped relax me, it's nice and warm in the cave and the water is slightly cool. It's refreshing. The guide was so nice and patient. He let me go at my own pace and as far as I was willing to go. They province boots and helmets. My boyfriend had a hard time with his helmet fitting his head, it kept coming loose. The boots are t so bad, but water shoes might be better. There are a lot of stones though, I wouldn't recommend those strappy hiking sandals.We saw some scorpion spiders (which aren't as big or scary as I thought) we saw tons of bats, and loads of cave crickets. It was beautiful, I'm so glad we did it. It was $22 per person. We added the photographer for an extra $20 & I'm so glad we did. Everything is gonna get wet, so I didn't want to take my camera in the cave.We were the only two people on our tour, which was really nice. It is hard to locate though, don't use your gps. Find directions online, or ask locals like we did.I recommend it!
读了到到网上的评论,我和我男朋友非常开心,因为有这样一个不贵而且激动人心的活动。我们从我们在香格里拉入住的酒店开车出发,沿路欣赏美景。我们到达洞穴的时候发现我们是那唯一的人。有三个人出来迎接我们,跟我们说下午三点已经关门了。他们说会让我们去但是没人要收费22美元,但是没有导游,我们需要导游。我们问导游多少钱,他只是问我们想花多少钱......我们同意两人加导游共60美元。之前了解过可以多加十美元叫一个照相的,我们也要求了,后来他们说如果我们想要一位摄影师加导游一小时总共104美元。我们说我们不想花这么多,他后来说,加导游74美元?一开始还说60美元,就这一点我们两个人都感觉不是很舒服,真的觉得不舒服,决定离开。真的很遗憾,这是我们第一次去哥斯达黎加,我们真的感觉不舒服。
