There are 2 options for this caving trip in the Ria cave.

• The Loop course: this guided caving excursion in the En Cassa cave will take you through a beautiful underground network richly decorated with stalactites, draperies and columns. The route is more technical than physical: to discover the wonders of this network, you'll have to travel through large galleries with climbing passages in easy boulders, make two 15-metre abseiling descents and negotiate some fairly strenuous ledges. The hardest part will be the entrance, where you'll have to crawl around on all fours for around 15m. After that, you'll be on your feet the whole way!
• The crossing course: this caving route is designed so that you can't turn back! You'll abseil down the narrow shaft of Aven Pérez (15m) and then walk through the gallery, climbing and narrow passages to reach the letterbox shaft (15m), which leads into a beautiful concretion room. The third abseil (12m) will take you to the large En Cassa network, which is rich in crystals and through which you will wander (not without some physical difficulties) to the exit.

Accompanied by a state-certified instructor with a passion for caving, you can be sure of a safe trip with high-quality equipment and good advice. Your instructor will be able to adapt to your level to give you a great experience, while respecting nature and enjoying the company of the group.
