About the place:

If your children are experts in recognizing figures, they surely will enjoy at the  Cave of the Dos and the Wonder Cave in Benifallet.

While you will be surprised by the greatness of nature, the children can use their imagination to discover a cow and a woman without head at the Cave of the Dos. And what about trying to find an elephant, a gecko, a wild boar and an organ in the Wonder Cave?

You just have to pay attention to the flashlight of the guide... and try to be calm if |suddenly the shadow of the devil with horns appears in front of you. A fascinating itinerary to discover how the slow drip of  water infiltration, loaded of dissolved carbonates, not only create stalactites and stalagmites, but also are the origin of strange formations such as the broccoli and the macaroni.
