Additional Information

“Explore the Enigmatic Tayos Cave, Following in Astronaut Neil Armstrong’s Footsteps”

The Tayos Cave was already well-known to the ancestral peoples of what is now Ecuador, known as the Shuar or Jíbaros. However, it wasn’t until July 21, 1969 (curiously just a few days after NEIL ARMSTRONG set foot on the Moon), that the world learned of the existence of one of the oldest caverns known to man, rumored to hold secrets of intelligent underground civilizations. Undoubtedly, if you seek extreme adventure, this will be one of the most unforgettable experiences of your life!
