“Sergio proved to be an excellent guide during our canyoning adventure in the mountains. He communicated effectively and ensured our safety throughout some challenging jumps and rappels, which was particularly impressive with four teenage boys in the group.”— Bren_K

3. Visit to El Soplao Cave with entrance ticket

One hour guided visit to El Soplao Cave — small group size, with views of the Tina Menor river estuary afterwards.

“Our experience with the tour was completely positive, in contrast to other reviews I've read. It was a wonderful way to explore the caves, and our guide, Gabriella, was extremely knowledgeable. We traveled to the caves by minibus, with a brief stop along the way for viewing, which was a nice addition. Although photography inside the caves isn't permitted, the transition was smooth, and we enjoyed a lovely group atmosphere. The guides communicated very well in English, which we appreciated since we don’t speak Spanish. However, it’s worth noting that they don’t accompany you inside the caves as the tour is conducted in Spanish, which was mentioned in the details, so a little Spanish preparation would have helped. Nevertheless, our guide made a concerted effort to provide us with all the necessary information ahead of time, allowing us to fully enjoy the caves. We’ve taken several trips with this company, and each time has been excellent. Thank you!”— J9163JOkatiew
