CARIPE AND THE NORTH EAST.

The way to Caripe, also known as “Humboldt’s Route”- is a picturesque mountain area made up of Haciendas of coffee, orange and pineapple plantations. Caripe is home of the Guacharo Cave and was explored 200 years ago by Alexander von Humboldt. Apart from its size, over 10 kilometers have been explored; there are numerous fascinating limestone formations of stalactites and stalagmites. The cave is however famed for it’s huge population of the nocturnal Guacharos or oil birds - up to 18,000 have been reported.

The surrounding mountainous area offers excellent hiking and horseriding opportunities. Caripe town itself is a great place to relax.
