Old Volcano Caverns

This is worth the time to come and visit. You need to be able to walk up a somewhat steep hill and crawl through one section of a cave. We showed up at the last minute for a 3pm tour without a reservation. They were very nice and help us get set up on the tour. They told us there was not an english speaking guide available but we went anyway. We used google translate's transcribe feature and kept up with all the great information. This is more than a cave exploring tour, they tell you a lot about the formation of the landscape, plants and animals from the region. You get a great view of the entire town and a different perspective than other lookouts around town. The parts when you're inside the cave are fun, you'll make use of the required hard hat.

The caverns and the view from the tour are well worth the visit. The first part is a short bus ride up to the beginning of the foot path upward. It is a bit strenuous but Sebastian was a wonderful tour guide and stopped several times for explanations and rest. He described the evolution of the area and the plants and animals of Patagonia. And, although it was Spanish language only, he spoke slowly and with gestures to help the other language speakers understand the gist. The climb through the smallest part of the cavern is optional. (Hard hats and hands and knees) But, a lovely crystal clear pool is inside. And the view at the top of the tour is spectacular.

The guide is amazing very interesting, the caves are great there is a small lake at the end. requires to bend down to get in The guide doesn’t speak English

Very recommended. Short but great experience for what it is worth. Duration about 2 hours and half. There are two sessions during the day, one at 11 am and the other at 3 pm. There are 3 caves or caves that seemed too easy, but there are some stories to hear. Guide is really good and let us take our breaths at intervals during our ascent and gave us interesting highlights and amazing views. The tour will be better and better if you go further along the course, ready to crawl on the last leg for about 6 feet and you will be rewarded with a beautiful geological surprise. I was amazed that even an older man could crawl past it. I see no need for walking shoes. You cannot go alone, it is only possible by paid guides, but it is relatively cheap. You can go to the meeting point with your own car or pick up at predetermined hotel points.

Fantastic tour, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and even has many information in English (although the tour was Spanish). Very recommended, and the children in our group also enjoyed it.
