About

Tour Overview

Join us in a guided tour of Kantemo, starting with a mountain bike tour through the jungle trails to reach the cave as the sun sets, just in time for the main show; the hanging serpents of the cave of Kantemo.

Every evening at nightfall hundreds of boa constrictors hang from the ceilings and recesses of the cave on the lookout for their favorite prey, bats, which also inhabit this cave in large numbers. Once this experience is over, the adventure continues with a night boat ride through the lagoon in search of the regions crocodiles. A show like no other, taking this tour is like spending a night in an Animal Planet documentary. If you like reptiles, caves, misunderstood creatures or the most extreme side of the animal world, you have to live this experience.
