Visit the Palomera Cave.


VISIT THE PALOMERA CAVE.


The visit to Cueva Palomera is a cultural and educational visit. It is a different experience: in its 2.5 km of route, interventions have been scarce, so we find ourselves in a completely natural cave. In which topics ranging from the formation of the cave, its geomorphology and hydrogeology are dealt with, to the biological and environmental investigations that are carried out, the archaeological discoveries made, stories and legends, curiosities... at the same time that you enjoy its most sensory and mysterious part.


It is not a complicated visit as no ropes or harnesses are needed. The only difficulty is represented by two sections of about 6-7 m in length in which it is necessary to advance in a crouching position.


The necessary equipment is warm clothing and footwear suitable for walking on a wet surface, stones and mud. The visit has an adventure component, since the only existing lighting is that of our fronts (which are provided by the guides) that will reveal at each step some of the best kept secrets of this part of the karstic complex.


The Palomera-Sala Museo de Cera route is 2.5 km / 4 hours, it starts at the Palomera sinkhole and ramp, and crosses the Edelweiss Room, the Main Gallery, the Communications Room, the Sima Dolencias, the Cacique and Wax Museum and the Gran Diagonal.


The shortest visit of 1.5 km / 2.5 hours, in which you reach Sima Dolencias and return along the same path.
