Tangier Tour: Cape Spartel, Hercules Cave + Camel Ride
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Tangier to kick off our excursion to Cape Espartel and the Caves of Hercules. Let’s get started!
First, we'll make a short visit to Perdicaris Park, a charming green lung of the city, perfect to enjoy nature and take some pictures with panoramic views. We'll then make our way to Cape Spartel. After half an hour's drive, we'll arrive at the famous lighthouse, which, due to its location, offers spectacular views of the point where the waters of the Mediterranean Sea meet those of the Atlantic Ocean. Don't miss out on a souvenir photo!
After soaking in the natural beauty, we’ll head to a beach, where you can enjoy a 30-minute camel ride by the sea. If you don't want to take the ride, you can take advantage of this time to take a leisurely stroll along the shore and relax by the sea.
Our next stop will be the impressive Caves of Hercules, also called "The Map of Africa." You'll soon understand why! The grotto has two openings, and its name comes from an ancient legend: is the Greek hero Heracles familiar to you? It's said that he spent the night in this grotto before carrying out his eleventh labor.
Once we have fully explored the caves, we will set off for Tangier, which will take about 20 minutes. Finally, we will drop you off at your hotel or, if you prefer, in the medina, about three hours later.
