Description

The SEJM1 trek is an introductory caving activity in Alto Asón, the vast karst area in eastern Cantabria, with Ramales de la Victoria as its caving capital. It is designed as a first contact with the underground world: educational, fun, and perfect for families with children.

After a short approach walk to the cave entrance, a guide introduces you to the interior and explains how caves are formed while you enjoy a short and pleasant route. It is a simple trek, without technical difficulty, ideal for discovering caving safely and as a family.

The activity lasts between two and three hours in total and requires no previous experience or special physical fitness: just the desire to live a small adventure underground. A guide accompanies the group at all times and provides all the necessary equipment.
