Natural Bridge Caverns is Deep in the Heart of Texas

The San Antonio Convention and Visitor’s Bureau invited my family to spend an afternoon visiting the Natural Bridge Caverns. For spelunking, the caverns offer a look at the largest cave system in Texas. A variety of options depending on your level of comfort underground includes a Discovery Tour along a paved lighted walkway or the Lantern Tour illuminated only by the light of your cave lantern or the Hidden Passages Illumination Tour where you are in both the light and dark with a state of the art lighting system and a chance to look at some of the most decorated and rare formations found in Natural Bridge Caverns.

We decided that the original tour, Discovery, was just the right one for our family. We learned a lot about the Texas landscape and how these caverns were formed. We saw old bat nesting places, and fortunately for my daughter, we didn’t encounter any bats. 😉
