Full description Enjoy the excursion to the caves of San José.
In the town of Vall d'Uixo there is the longest navigable underground river in Europe, it is 3000 meters long, of which we will cover 1 kilometer (850 meters by boat and 250 meters on foot).

We will pick you up at one of the pick-up points that you have decided. During the journey to the caves you will be able to enjoy an official guide who will accompany you all the way and will tell you the essential you need to know about Valencia, as well as all the secrets that are hidden inside the Cuevas de San José, its incredible history and curiosities in detail.

After about 45 minutes by car, we will arrive at the door of the Sierra de Espadan Natural Park (Yes! The caves are one of the entrances to this idyllic place) where you will get on a boat to travel the river in which a guide-boatman will take you He will guide you along the way and point out some key points of the natural wonder.

We will navigate the longest navigable underground river in Europe accompanied by a nautical guide. During the approximately one-hour walk, we will see large galleries, stalactite-covered ceilings, and spaces known as "the cathedral" or the "room of bats."

These caves are considered the longest navigable underground river in Europe since we still do not know its origin or how far it reaches. After years of research they remain something unique and mysterious.

In a section we will continue our journey on foot (250 meters), while we reveal the origin of the caves and their evolution over the years.
