100% would recommend this tour, we had an amazing time! Our guide Miguel did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the cave and the artifacts/sacrifices inside. Closed toed shoes are a must (I wore tennis shoes) not only because there are slippery areas, but there are rocks you could hurt your feet on if you wore sandals (even Tevas or Danners). I have no caving experience and was able to make it all the way to the end to see the artifacts. You are mostly walking through a creek with some swimming, rock scrambling, and one boulder to climb. This was one of the coolest things I have done, definite bucket list!
