• Once ready, we began a 30-minute journey along a trail to the mouth of the cave.
• Upon arrival, we will give the last instructions to enter the depths of the grotto where you will find capricious calcareous formations of stalactites and stalagmites, streams, pools and underground waterfalls that flow inside to a still unknown place. Furthermore, in its waters we will find shrimp and fish. In the upper part bats and insects typical of caves.
• Inside, at about 500 metres deep and in total darkness, we will see the Manto Sagrado waterfall. Being there you feel the sensation of taking a trip to the centre of the earth.
