    Excellent place, a must visit if you are in the area, the tour is in spanish but as we were the only people there the guide, Hector, was brilliant and went out his way to do it in English for us, a great guide makes a great tour

    A great place to start speleology. For children from 6 years and older not initiated. Good attention, and patience with the little ones. A huge cave and well prepared for visits

  • "Very good!!!"

    1 / 5 Reviews posted by David P on 18/09/2017

    The explanations in spanish in one hour were very good. A natural space that deserve a little time of your holidays. Always at 10°, easy to visit, some scales but not get across narrow ways.
