The Venado Caverns, a 2,700 meter stretch of limestone caves replete with stalactite and stalagmite formations, are ideal for a day-trip from nearby Arenal. The caverns, believed to be between 15 and 20 million years old, were formed by underground streams which still run through the caves.

During the guided tour of the caverns, you may see bats, monochrome frogs, fish and marine fossils, many of which are endemic to the area.

I was skeptical about this since I am not a very athletic person. But it wasn't very difficult. The guide will help you a lot along the way. You will be confident and ready to explore after you crawled through the very first narrow space filled with water. Once in a life time experience, and I recommend it.

Our family really liked it - first time exploring caves with the kids. Smaller group and an excellent guide (you definitely want one on this tour!) made for a really interesting tour. We did a couple extra side excursions into some small areas but was completely optional. Would say this is better than seeing caves in the US (or at least ones I've seen).
