About

Visitors are generally impressed by the unique underground suspension bridge and the knowledgeable guides. It is a great alternative to the larger, more commercialized caves nearby. However, be prepared for a lot of stairs—it is a workout! Some guests have had mixed experiences with tour guide personalities, but the overall consensus is that it is a spot-on adventure.

The suspension bridge was the highlight of the trip.

Great workout, but definitely not for those with bad knees.

Our guide was funny and made the history come alive.
