Are you not afraid of adventure, mud, and the mysteries of darkness? So, let yourself be engulfed in this special tour and discover the most spectacular cave of the archipelago located in Baya Honda, on Bastimentos island. In the bay, it is aboard a canoe that you advance slowly in the middle of the mangrove, which meanders little by little inside the island in an Amazon kind of scenery. Be careful; sloths, monkeys, caimans, snakes, spiders, and red frogs will likely come across. You reach a small indigenous village where resides the Ngöbé-Buglé Community, guardians of the cave. This is where your guide awaits you and accompanies you for a 15-minute walk in the heart of the jungle, which will take you to the entrance of the Nivida cave. With your feet in the water, you rush into the twilight, with hundreds of bats above your head. More profound passages are mandatory to venture even further into the cave... Sometimes with water up to your neck! The bravest may dare to jump from a rock into a natural pool almost three meters deep in a particular atmosphere of total darkness. A challenge for some, a pleasure for others! Either way, this adventure will give you thrills and allow you to get to know Bocas in a truly unique way!
