La gruta del Manto Sagrado Speleology Tour

We’ll pick you up at 8:00 am at your accommodation in Tingo Maria to go to Huayna Capac, where the Sacred Mantle cave is located.

After a half an hour drive, we will begin a 25-minute hike into the Peruvian jungle. At the end of this trek, the Sacred Mantle Cave, a karst cave formed millions of years ago, awaits us.

We’ll prepare our equipment such as helmets and torches, and then start our exploration. The route will take us through labyrinths of stalactites and stalagmites, and we will appreciate various rock formations.

Our adventure continues as we descend to a depth of 350 metres to reach the underground waterfall of the Sacred Mantle, which plunges down a 15-metre drop and flows through the Tragadero del Misterio (Mystery Gully).

We’ll make a stop to have lunch with the picnic you bring, then return to the surface. Afterward, we will walk to Huayna Capac, where transport will be waiting to take you back to your hotels in Tingo Maria, with an expected arrival time of around 5:00 pm.
