Baltzola Cave
In the heart of Dima, in the Arratia valley, the Baltzola cave complex awaits us, an underground network that challenges the bounds of imagination. This intricate karst labyrinth reveals narrow passages and large caverns, creating an exciting underground journey. These caves have been created by the erosion of stone over thousands of years and are undoubtedly one of the most visited places in the area.
Baltzola not only offers impressive geological formations, such as columns and stalagmites, but also hides archaeological remains that shed light on the human presence in these caves since ancient times. The footsteps echoing in the chambers remind us that we are exploring a territory that has witnessed a long history and evolution.
