Full description
Experience anincredible adventure inside the Geo-Archeo-Adventure Park of the Equi Caves, a site of exceptional natural and geological interest. In the company of a certified guide, you will discover them equipped with harness, helmet and headlamp in a fascinating 2½-hour speleological itinerary.
The grottoes of Equi Terme, in eastern Lunigiana, are world-famous for their very large limestone formations, shafts and particular colours and shapes, unique in Italy.
What are you waiting for, then? Join thespeleological excursion to the Equi Caves and let yourself be amazed by a suggestive and timeless place.
What we will do
We will meet in Equi Terme, where we will meet the guide. After forming the group, we will have a briefing of about 30 minutes on the route and the use of the equipment, and we will be ready to set off.
We will initially approach some karstic caves modelled over millions of years by the action of water, which, penetrating into the fractures in the limestone, has formed wells, tunnels and underground lakes.
From here, guided by the expert, we will begin the caving route (total length 350 m) between via ferratas, Tibetan bridges in the beautiful dark caves, illuminated only by the light of our head torch. Along the route, which lasts about 2 ½ hours, we will be able to admire very large limestone formations, shafts and peculiar colours, which are only visible on this excursion.
This route is unique in Italy and will allow us to put on the shoes of a real speleologist , with harness and lanyard for a fall protection system, helmet with frontal light and gloves. The excursion will last a total of 3 hours.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is suitable for everyone over the age of 10. You must be at least 140 cm tall and weigh between 20 kg and 120 kg.
No special skills are required, as long as you are in good physical and mental shape and have no heart problems or other illnesses that could limit your abilities. The activity is forbidden for pregnant women and strongly discouraged for those suffering from vertigo or claustrophobia.
