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.

Alto Asón, with hundreds of cataloged caves and the source of the Asón river, is one of Europe's major caving destinations and a perfect place to take your first steps in this sport.
