Description
Hidden from the warm Caribbean skies, tucked away inside the stunning Choco National Park in the Dominican Republic, is a large network of underground caves.
Dating back millions of years, the rocky chambers present fascinating formations and wonderful underground scenery.
It is here in the caves where you are able to see signs of the first inhabitants on the island, where humans once took refuge in the protection of the caves; where they developed creativity and performed rituals.
One of the gems of the system is Cueva de Cristal, or the Crystal Cave, hidden deep underground that we will access via a series of steps. This dark chamber provides sanctuary for a freshwater pool.
Elsewhere, hiking to other caves will reveal tunnels packed with icicle-like daggers hanging from the ceiling, as well as centuries-old rock art.
The Choco caves, and by extension the national park, are vital tourist attractions in the Dominican Republic.
There are approximately 200 caves within the system that are 5 million years old. And above ground, hike through the national park populated with forest, lush green jungle, pastures and lagoons.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in the picture-perfect national park of El Choco and explore the caves of Cabarete on a half-day adventure.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
