Abstract

The present work is the result of an interuniversity project between academics from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH), Universidad de Costa Rica and Grupo Espeleológico Anthros professionals.

An exploratory visit was performed within Taulabé Caves for scientific evidence that could explain the origin and the cave chemical composition in addition to improve academic ties between the involved institutions and to provide scientific information to tourism.

Through observation and qualitative evidence is concluded that the caves have a karst formation and are mainly composed of calcite. Scientific search is recommended to improve the cave knowledge.
