Speleology in Marko cave

An ideal cave for beginners

Inguru Abentura

Description of the activity/company

The Marko Cave is one of the jewels of the Urkiola Natural Park, an ideal outing for beginners in caving. For four hours, you will explore an easily accessible cave filled with formations such as flowstones, rimstones, stalactites, stalagmites, and spectacular helictites.

The adventure includes a short climb with a harness and helmet, as well as a fixed handline that leads to the deepest point of the cave. At the end, it is possible to visit the Ascondo Cave to see its prehistoric engravings, which predate those of Santimamiñe.

Discover the fascinating underground world of Marko Cave with Inguru Abentura. Its helictites will not disappoint.

To take into account

Which cave should you choose?

At Inguru Abentura we have caves for all levels. For beginners, we recommend the Marko Cave. If you already have experience and don´t mind getting muddy, the Lamiak or Maru Caves are ideal. And for an adventure with ropes and harnesses, the Jentilzubi Cave combines mythology and sport.

Who can go caving?

Almost anyone can do it, although it is not recommended for those with claustrophobia, as some areas require crawling or squeezing through narrow passages.

Minimum age

It depends on the cave, but it is usually between 8 and 14 years old, always with adult accompaniment or permission. For families, a simple option is the Iguaran Cave.

The activity includes:

Technical equipment for the group.

Individual equipment (helmet with a headlamp and protective suit).

Qualified guides

Necessary insurance.

VAT included.

Wear comfortable clothing (preferably long pants) and hiking footwear that can get dirty. Don’t forget a small snack, a litre and a half of water per person, and sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, or gloves in accordance with the season.
