Tags caving, tropical dry forests, national parks and reserves

Barra Honda is Costa Rica's only subterranean park. Its myriad caverns are carved out of the soft limestone of ancient coral reefs forced upward by tectonic faults. Erosion and rain took over from there, shaping small subterranean chambers and caves over a period of 70 million years.
