• Pre-Pyrenean Gorges. Around the Foces there are countless trails worth visiting, including the climb to the hermitage that was made for the Trinity.

Visit the busiest caves and chasms in Navarra thanks to Pirineo Natura. A Navarra company that knows the area and organizes caving activities.

The caves that will show you:

• Azpilingoa. A little-traveled cave with unauthorized access and where the use of artificial light is mandatory.
• Amenasillo. A curious cavity in which you will need lighting and with somewhat complex access because it has not been adapted.
• Arápea. This cave, although it does not have a man-made entrance, is very easy to navigate.
• Mendukilo. A very entertaining and highly accessible underground itinerary. You will have to avoid obstacles such as wells while visiting it.
• Lezegalde. A chasm with rappels of about four kilometers that takes an hour to travel. It is made up of vaults and galleries that the river excavated over the years and that are essential.
• Tximua. Impressive Chasm that, depending on the time of year, you can see with water inside. You will need flashlights to visit it.

In addition to a short briefing, they will provide you with headlamps if necessary and helmets.
