| Description: | The cavity has evidence of Upper Paleolithic occupation. The rock manifestations date from the Middle / Upper Magdalenian (about 13,500 years old).
Although it has rock art, it is not visited because it is about 600 and 1200 meters deep, and its karst system remains active with water currents. In fact, on days with a lot of rain, the river springs up again from its bowels, running under the 150-meter walkway that we walk during the visit. Its entrance, of spectacular dimensions, emerges from a lush Cantabrian holm oak of great ecological value. Inside, an audiovisual begins the visit, accompanied by a show of water, light and sound that will transport us inside the cavity while talking about the history of this cave and others in the region from Prehistory to history more recent. |
