Pozalagua Caves

Pozalagua Caves is a vast limestone cavern discovered by chance during quarrying operations in the middle of the twentieth century. The main chamber features thousands of helictites that grow in intertwined directions regardless of vertical forces. This geological phenomenon makes the cave a site of international importance for speleologists and nature enthusiasts. Visitors can explore the interior through a series of secure walkways that illuminate the translucent crystals. The surrounding Karrantza Valley provides a rugged mountain setting that complements the silent beauty of the underground world.
