The floor in areas is wet and mixed with the mud makes it very slippy. More lighting is required. But the views inside are stunning. The trek upto and back are also very beautiful views of the mountains

I had the pleasure of having the guide, Mario, take me around the whole day. All in all an incredible trip. He was incredibly friendly and was able to tell me a lot about the area we were in. The lunch at the restaurant near the cave was amazing and delicious. All in all am incredible trip!

Good experience, fantastic driver. Despite not knowing English he would go and pick some grapes and red berries for us to eat. The hike can be difficult at times but was very fun.
I would advise the other travelers to take a lamp and a helmet for themselves when going into the cave as it is tricky otherwise (you can grab it from the restaurant where you will have lunch). The cave also can be slippery. My guide was fun to walk with, I would not mind him being more knowledgeable about the tour though. I would love to know some history behind the caves and the track. Even a few lines would help a lot about each of the stops. Due to the protest happening on the day I was also not dropped off home and after a long day of hiking it did feel like a chore to walk back my my hostel. I would do it again
