Explore a natural rock cavity in Calasparra on a tour of Murcia's famous Cueva del Puerto. Walk around the underground caves, learn about the site, and visit the luminescent minerals room.
Enjoy a guided tour of the Cueva del Puerto with entry tickets included. Descend 50 meters underground, and embark on an adventure in true Indiana Jones style. See various galleries, naturally formed sculptures, and the luminescent minerals room.
Begin by meeting your guide at the reception of the caves. Set off, and begin an exploration of the caves that are spread out over 700 meters and are estimated to be 15 million years old. Walk through the numerous natural galleries, and view the sculpted shapes on the ceilings and walls.
