in addition to
general safety
rules, we highly recommend bringing a flashlight, a
helmet, and water on all spelunking outings.
we strongly encourage all hikers to enjoy rio's
mountain trails, caves, and caverns accompanied by an
experienced and certified speleologist
guide.
further to the extra safety hiking and
speleologist guides can provide, professional
guides are fluent in portuguese and would be indispensable in case of
an
emergency to communicate with rescue crews.
