Guanacaste Barra Honda Caves Tours

Plunging deep into the earth (in some places as far as 787 ft.), the limestone caves at Barra Honda Caves Tours glisten with stalagmites and stalactites, and offer up a wonderful place for adventurous underground exploration.

This Costa Rica Guided Tour begins with a short hike through the park's dry tropical forest before heading underground. As you walk through the forest, you may be able to spot coatis, agoutis, anteaters, and monkeys. Descending into caves, you'll hear the sound of water dripping against rocks and see the twisted, ghost-like formations of hardened calcium all around you.
