    The tour started promptly, and the pickup location (one of three available) was easy to find. Our guide, Manuel, spoke both Spanish and English and kept us engaged throughout the 45-minute journey to the caves. He pointed out landmarks, shared stories about the local agriculture and its origins, and explained the history of nearby towns and sights along the way. Knowing that some of the boatmen/women inside the caves may not speak English, Manuel gave us a very clear explanation on the bus of how the tour would work. He told us what to expect during the boat ride, the timings for when we’d be in the boat and on foot, and when photography was and wasn’t allowed. This was incredibly helpful and made the experience much easier to enjoy. On arrival, there are several cafés and eateries outside the caves, and we had around 20 minutes free before entering to grab a drink or snack. We then met Manuel at the agreed time at the entrance before heading inside for the cave tour itself. The caves are truly magical. The boat ride is beautiful, with fascinating rock formations and atmospheric passages. Some of the spaces are very tight, and there is a real risk of bumping your head if you don’t stay alert. The walking section also involves areas with very low ceilings, which might be challenging for those with back problems or anyone uncomfortable in confined spaces. That said, we personally had no difficulties, and it added to the sense of adventure. Overall, this was a wonderful excursion and one we’d definitely recommend. The caves are a unique experience, and Manuel was a knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive guide who really made the day special.
