One of Portugal's great caves, in the Serra de Aire e Candeeiros, about 20 minutes from Fátima: limestone galleries and chambers with stalactites, flowstone and an underground river, lit along the route.
The visit lasts about 60 minutes: it starts with a short video and continues with a guide. There are no fixed times: when you buy your ticket you are given the time of the next tour, and the wait is not usually more than 30 minutes. The ticket office is open from 9:30 to 17:00 from October to March, until 18:00 in April, May and September and until 18:30 from June to August; the last tour leaves at closing time. Groups of fewer than 20 people do not need to book.
