If you are thinking of traveling to the Dominican Republic and are not the kind of person who likes to spend every day in the hotel, we recommend a visit to the Cueva Fun Fun (Fun Fun Cave). It is the ideal excursion for the most adventurous, and lovers of nature and eco-tourism.

Rancho Capote is the name of the ranch located in the Capote community, in eastern Dominican Republic, in the province of Hato Mayor del Rey, 21 km from the nearest town and two hours from the Iberostate Bávaro complex.

The Fun Fun Cave excursion is a full day trip on the ranch, where the attraction is an enormous cave of approximately 25 km, with 8 km explored and a further 2.5 km which are adapted for the excursion. It offers primitive architecture and is one of the largest natural formations on the planet.

The experience begins with a tasty tropical fruit breakfast, which you will need for your training with the guides and the professional safety team; it continues with a horse ride and then a walk through the rainforest of Los Haítises reserve. The best part is the entry at the mouth of the cave to descend by rope, rappelling from a height of around 20 meters.   The sensation is incredible; you can hear the murmuring of the underground river and experience the tunnels, the passageways with rock engravings, cave paintings and many more attractions. On the way back, you can share your experiences with the other eco-tourists during the horse ride to the ranch's dining room, where a healthy and tasty lunch will be awaiting you.

It is a comprehensive excursion, with breakfast, lunch, rappelling equipment, horses and a team of professionals to assist. It is a fun day full of adventure which will give you the opportunity to gain a profound experience of the local nature and enjoy the landscape, the animals and the underground world that exists within the cave. It is adventure- and eco-tourism rolled into one.

If you are thinking of spending a few days in Bávaro, make the most of your trip to enjoy this magnificent excursion. If you wish, at Iberostar Bávaro we would be delighted to give you all the information you need about how to book.
