The Arcotete is a place that owes its beauty to the passage of time. During its formation, impressive caverns were discovered in the roof of the arch. Its walls, up to 40 m high, have whimsical geological formations with limestone stalactites and stalagmites that resemble large bones. These walls are a paradise for rock climbing, where there are already some established sport climbing routes, which ascend steep overhangs. From the top of the arch you can practice rappelling, located 4 km northwest of San Cristóbal.
