Discover Cantabria's breathtaking nature on this tour of the Puente Viesgo Caves and the Valles Pasiegos valleys.
Valles Pasiegos & Puente Viesgo Caves Tour
We'll pick you up from your hotel or the meeting point at around 9 am and set off on a half an hour journey to Puente Viesgo, home to four extraordinary caves which have been declared World Heritage Sites!
First, we'll discover the Cueva del Castillo cave and marvel at its rock paintings believed to be the oldest in the world! Next, we'll head into the Cueva de las Monedas cave to admire more fascinating prehistoric paintings and original karst formations.
Our tour will continue with a visit to the town of Puente Viesgos. After exploring its most iconic parts, we'll make our way to the Valles Pasiegos valleys, where the landscape is full of cascading waterfalls and charming wooden houses! We'll stop in Vega de Pas, where we'll enjoy a delicious menu in a local restaurant, made up of a main, dessert and drink.
After lunch, we'll head to the Ethnographic Museum so we can learn all about the traditional Pasiego way of life. To finish the tour, we'll take a stroll through the town until we reach the Cascada del Puerto de Estacas de Trueba waterfall. It'll take your breath away!
At the end of the trip, we'll return to Santander and drop you off at the starting point at 6 pm.
