Extraordinary experience - Natalia was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. She was able to translate enough information into English for us to understand what we were looking at. We went on the 90 minute tour and found the whole experience awesome inspiring. We visited on a quiet day with only 4 visitors on the tour.

Snow and landscape - A spectacular place, it is not the first time we have gone.
But this weekend it was snowy, but we still went up to visit it.
Spectacular landscape and the road to them an impressive gorge, the Hoces de VegaCervera.

Out of this world! - The most extraordinary stalactites and stalactites I have ever seen! Do not miss this! The 7 rooms are all astounding and the lighting that they have done, makes it pure theatre.

Out of this world! - Great driver, he drove really well and was very kind, even though we spoke no Spanish! Definitely worth someone else doing the drive because the views are amazing so it’s great to look around.
The caves are out of this world, I have never seen anything like it before, in other caves around the world!
A definite Must-See, if you are visiting Leon!
