    Very impressive cave with a guided tour. In addition you get a short boat ride and a great train ride back to the main camp. Recommended, great for grown ups and kids. Could take sometime in queuing, depending on time/vacation you are visiting.

    These caves are definitely a very nice experience. You walk quite a bit through different “rooms” in the cave and the guided tour is entertaining. There is also a little boat and train ride included. All in all you should reserve approx. 2h for the total visit. It is well organized

    You have to visit this place if you visit the lourdes church. It's a 24 mins drive from the Lourdes church but it was totally worth it. We came here on April so there was a not a lot of people but in July and August it will be packed. The guide was funny and excellent 💯 The stones and structures formed by water droplets was sensational to watch. The place is full of history. I highly recommend this place ✔️

    Nice cave with some interesting things to experience like a boat and train trip and a descent on stairs. Would recommend wearing a helmet though
