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, the location of the Sacred Mantle cave.

After a 30-minute drive, we will hike for 25 minutes into the Peruvian jungle to reach the Sacred Mantle Cave, a karst cave formed millions of years ago.

We will prepare our equipment, including helmets and torches, and begin our exploration of the labyrinths of stalactites and stalagmites as well as the underground lagoons. The caving route features various rock formations, including a notable one known as "the cathedral."

We’ll descend to a depth of 350 metres, where we will encounter the underground waterfall of the Sacred Mantle, which cascades down a 15-metre drop into the Tragadero del Misterio (Mystery Gully).

During the tour, we will pause for lunch with the picnic you bring, after which we will return to the surface and walk back to Huayna Capac. Transport will be provided to take you back to your hotels in Tingo Maria, with an expected arrival time of around 5:00 pm.
