Caving in the Cirá Cave in Montán

The Cirá cave is in Montán, the village next to Montanejos, and is the area's underground outing: a beginner's cave that goes in about 1,200 metres, with stalactites, stalagmites, vaults and passages. Somos Aventura runs it with a guide on 2 h 40 min outings, no previous experience needed.

What you do inside

No complicated techniques are needed, but you do need hands and feet. You advance secured with ropes on the climbs, the descents and the traverses, and each obstacle tests coordination, balance and orientation. The light is that of the head torch on your helmet.

Age, group and price

From age 8 and up to 120 kg in weight (above that, ask). The company asks for a group of more than five people; if there are fewer of you, ask whether you can join another. The price drops with the group: €50 per person for one to four, €45 for five to eight, €43 for nine to fifteen and €40 for sixteen to twenty. There are departures at 9:30 and at 16:00.

It includes overalls, head torch, helmet, harness and seat protector, professional guides and a free photo or video report that you download from its website. Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty, trainers and a spare pair, and bring water.

For a day without water

It is the alternative to rafting and canyoning when you do not feel like getting wet or outside the river season. In the afternoon, the Montanejos Spa or the Fuente de los Baños wash off the mud.
