TOUR DESCRIPTION
In this exclusive half-day excursion, you will have the opportunity to explore the breathtaking El Soplao Cave, located in the Sierra de Arnero. Considered one of the world’s greatest geological wonders, this cave is renowned for the exceptional quality and quantity of its geological formations, known as speleothems.
The visit will include a guided 1 km walk in Spanish* through various galleries of the cave, accessed via a small train. The route is easy and accessible for everyone, including those using wheelchairs.
During this one-hour experience, you will be amazed by the abundant formations of stalactites, stalagmites, and other speleothems that embellish the cave, creating a truly unique underground landscape.
After visiting this natural wonder, we will continue our journey through the charming landscapes of this region of Cantabria, heading to the Pechón Viewing Point, where you will enjoy stunning views over the Cantabrian Sea and the estuary of Tina Menor.
Following this brief but spectacular stop to take in the scenery, we will resume our return journey, with unforgettable memories of this fascinating day.
