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 half-hour drive, we will arrive at our destination and begin a 25-minute hike into the Peruvian jungle. This trek leads us to the Sacred Mantle Cave, a karst cave formed millions of years ago.

We’ll prepare our equipment, including helmets and torches, and start our exploration through the labyrinths of stalactites and stalagmites and the underground lagoons. During the tour, we will observe various rock formations, such as the cathedral.

Our adventure continues as we descend to a depth of 350 metres, reaching the underground waterfall of the Sacred Mantle. Its waters drop 15 metres and flow through the Tragadero del Misterio (Mystery Gully).

We’ll pause for lunch with the picnic you have brought, then return to the surface. Upon exiting, we will walk back to Huayna Capac, where transport will be ready to take you back to your hotels in Tingo Maria, arriving around 5:00 pm.
