Excelente lugar para pasar en familia, pareja, amigos e incluso ir solo a recorrer la naturaleza, les recomendamos si están en San Cristobal tomar una combi que sale en el mercado de verduras (actualmente cuesta $20) de ahí al parque llegas en 20 min, la entrada al parque está $20, la entrada a las grutas a $30, hay área de comida dentro (tortas desde $30, elotes $20, cafe $20 y de ahí para arriba) precios accesibles, aviéntense de la resbaladilla gigante! Las grutas súper sorprendentes!Typically I do not like tours but this was perfect because we had enough time at each location. There were only 3 of us and we got picked up in a taxi at our hotels.

Typically I do not like tours but this was perfect because we had enough time at each location. There were only 3 of us and we got picked up in a taxi at our hotels. We went to Arcotete first and had one hour to explore the caves and surrounding woods. The cave system was above a river and at some points got very tight if you’re tall! But it had amazing views. We then went to Rancho Nuevo which had two caves to explore. The first was massive about 2,475ft long to walk through and at the end an additional 350 meters you can pay $35 pesos (not included in tour) for a guide to take you through to the end with hard hat and light since it’s completely dark. It’s worth it to see all the quartz, limestone formations. The cave next to this one Las Golondrinas costs $20 peses (not included in tour) and is not very long to walk but has the most interesting formations like a drip sand castle. A guide follows you to make sure you don’t touch anything since you’re among all these stalagmites and stalactites. All of the caves were exciting to explore and beautiful hiking area surrounding each. The convenience of having a taxi take you to both locations and wait was worth it. They’re both quite close from SCDLC center. The tour guide was really nice too. Both entrance fees to both places were included in the tour price but not the additional two cave walks I mentioned above.Doy 4, muy buen servicio del guía, el lugar, excepto qué llegaron por nosotros 35 minutos tarde. Sitios muy interesantes, hermosas vistas y buenos servicios

Sitios muy interesantes, hermosas vistas y buenos serviciosLas grutas no tienen señalamiento de las estalactitas q se han formado. Tienes q pagarle a un guía para q te las muestre. El paseo a caballo, se me hace MUY caro y el anuncio no dice CUÁNTO tiempo incluye el recorrido. La comida es la misma en todos los locales.
