What to expect

It is a route of low difficulty and adequate duration so that the route is like a first experience in a natural cave and can be carried out from very young children to elderly people with agility. The route goes through galleries of a cave in gypsum where you can admire the reflection of the gypsum crystals when receiving the light from the hulls and the effect that the erosion of water and the passage of time have caused in the gypsum rock. The itinerary inside the cave is easy, almost everything is horizontal, but in some cases you have to climb a bit and in others crawl something. The time spent on this route varies according to the number of participants and even their characteristics, usually ranging from one and a half to two hours.
