Step by Step
This excursion to the San José Caves from Valencia takes you to the Vall d’Uixó, about 45 minutes from the city, to discover one of the great natural treasures of inland Castellón.
The tour begins with the transfer from Valencia to the entrance of the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park, where the famous caves are located. Before entering, the guide will explain the main points of interest at the site and, at the end of the visit, will be available to answer any questions in the language you have chosen for the excursion.
Inside, you’ll cover a distance of approximately 1 kilometre, of which around 850 metres is by boat along the underground river and the remaining 250 metres on foot. Along the way, you’ll be able to admire vast galleries, rock formations and ceilings covered in stalactites, as well as areas known as ‘La Catedral’ (The Cathedral ) and ‘La Sala de los Murciélagos’ (The Bat Chamber).
The experience offers an insight into how the caves were formed and how they have evolved over time, combining nature, geology and history. In the area, you can also enjoy views of the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park and the surrounding landscape, where the remains of an ancient Iberian settlement situated above the cave entrance are preserved.
With transport, admission and a boat trip included, this is a very convenient way to visit the San José Caves without having to worry about organising your own travel or access. All you need to do is choose the pick-up point in Valencia that suits you best and get ready to discover one of the region’s most unique underground landscapes.
