Offers of Caving Mexico

3. What do I need for my caving expedition?

It is recommended that you wear waterproof clothing or even neoprene suits, since you must take into account that the places to be explored can be cold, humid and if there is water, it will also get quite cold if you need to swim. What is very important is that you wear rigid shoes with laces, preferably of the mountain boot type, to protect your feet from the rocks and other natural formations that you will encounter on the way. But be prepared to get wet and dirty. The necessary protective equipment will be provided on the tour you choose, unless you are instructed otherwise. It consists of a safety helmet with a headlight, a flashlight, a compass, a map of the area and the necessary material for rappelling and climbing. We recommend that you carry a small backpack to store some objects such as water and non-perishable food and another tip is to always carry an emergency whistle per person.

5. Respect the environment

You will visit natural settings that we must all take care of and help to preserve. Do not touch the natural formations such as stalactites or stalagmites, unless the instructor says so, since the damage is irreparable and, bear in mind that they have managed to remain intact for thousands or even millions of years. Do not extract any pieces or rocks from caves or subway rivers, everything is part of an ecosystem and has a function. On the other hand, if you are going to use sunblock, it is very important that it is biodegradable so as not to damage the flora and fauna of the places to be explored. We trust that if you go on this kind of expedition it is because you like the contact with nature and discover its magic in the interior of the earth, therefore, you are also interested in its care and conservation.
