Itinerary
First we will put on the necessary equipment, including socks and a 5mm neoprene wetsuit. As soon as we are ready we will follow an ancient path that heads towards the mountains and in about 15 minutes walk we will arrive in front of the entrance to the cave.
Here we will have a briefing on how to move inside the cave. At that point we will begin our excursion that will lead us to discover the wonders of underground nature following a small stream that has dug the cave over millions of years. We will be able to immerse ourselves in the waters of the underground lake and reach the Silence Room where we will experience absolute darkness.
