The best time is during the dry season from November to April, to avoid rain that can make the trails difficult. Visit early in the morning, around 9:00 a.m., for cool weather and fewer crowds, ideal for exploring comfortably.

The park has uneven trails and stairs in the grottos, so it is not fully wheelchair accessible, but there are flat areas for partial visits. Assistance is recommended for visitors with mobility limitations; contact the municipality of Intibucá at +504 2783-2000 for adapted options.
