Do I need prior caving experience?
No. The tour is listed as 'Everybody welcome', which means no technical background is required. First-timers are the norm on this trip.
How deep underground does the route go?
The exact depth of the La Llacuna cave system on this route is not published. Ask Catalonia Adventures directly when booking for precise details on the underground sections covered.
Is claustrophobia a dealbreaker?
