The whole of the cave is located in the Sierra de Arnero mountain range, which in turn is located in the range of Sierra del Escudo de Cabuérniga, 20 minutes by car from Comillas. The quality, whiteness and most of all the abundance of its eccentric or helictite formations are beyond all comparison. The composition of its formations par excellence is aragonite followed by calcite. The cave is accessed on board a mining train which will take us 400 metres inside through a tunnel with conditioned mining props. After alighting from the train, we will walk for 60 metres along some old mining galleries which will lead us to the chamber called the Galería Gorda (Fat Gallery).
