Overview

GET READY TO GET DOWN AND DIRTY IN ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN ALL COSTA RICA - A REAL HIDDEN JEWEL

Itinerary

Venado Caves

The amazing Venado Caves, formed 15 – 20 million years ago, were discovered by the aboriginal Guatosos. Throughout the 1 ½ hour tour through formations formed by an underground river, we will see stalactites, stalagmites, and marine fossils along with plenty of bats, spiders, and crickets. As adventurers, we should be prepared to move through very tight spaces, get thoroughly wet, and be covered in mud as we walk and crawl along the underground river and through the waterfall to explore the wonders of this cave.

Highly recommend

The caves were amazing. You really need to be fit to do all the crawling and climbing. There are bypss options if you are claustrophobic. The tour operator was also amazing . He gave us a lot of tips and recommendations on other things to do. Highly recommend venado caves through Seven tours if you don’t have rental car.

Awesome tour!

Amazing experience. We went there on our own and paid $30 for adults and $25 for kids for the tour. Totally worth the drive up to this place. Our tour guide was amazing and he was patient with us as our kids went from being extremely scared to wanting to explore all nooks and crannies of the cave! Overall a very cool experience which we will remember forever.

Awesome experience!

Great experience. Be aware, there is a little bit of fitness involved. It was me, my husband & 18 year old son & there are just a few parts that are challenging. We are in our 50's & my son is an athlete so he said it wasn't challenging at all. My hubby & I are semi fit, but I do recommend doing the challenging parts, especially the birthing canal if you can fit. Wear really good water shoes as my water shoes got obliterated. Also, wear dark shirts/tops that you don't mind getting dirty as you will be squeezing through tight spaces & possibly on your back or tummy to squeeze through. We loved this as a family & our guide was awesome. We got to see bats & some spiders & the Caves are truly remarkable. A must do!. Also know, it gets hot inside & your heart rate will get elevated. And lastly, the snacks are just a granola bar, nothing to get excited about.

Must visit!!

We really enjoyed our time with Mauricio. It was an exciting tour and we loved the insights he had to offer about the caving ecosystem! Additionally, Keylor also made our drive to the caves memorable by telling us about life in Costa Rica!

Venado Caves-great time!

We had Kenia as our tour guide and she was a pleasure to be with. She drove us an hour each way from La Fortuna to Venado Caves. She was very knowledgeable about everything along the way on the drive and we learned so much. She found a sloth, monkeys and toucans in the trees which we would have never seen. Wilmer, our guide at the caves took us through every crawl space, river, and twist and turn through the cave. I felt very safe with him. He pointed out many features of the caves and got a big spider for my son to hold. He also took photos for us. Kenia had coffee and water and snacks for us for after. We had a lovely drive back and are very appreciative of her!! My son keeps asking if she can come with us again!
