Caves of San José & Vilafamés
Cuevas de San José (San José caves)
A 2,5km long underground river of San José with rocky landscapes maintains the temperature of + 20 degrees Celsius and is considered the longest navigable underground river in Europe.
The Caves, which sometimes are called “the heart of the earth” are full of stalactites and stalagmites that you can enjoy during the boat ride as well as some cave drawings left centuries ago.
The caves are only 40km from Valencia and 100km from Peñiscola. And the best thing is that you don’t have to drive with the car, you just get there with the bus and enjoy traveling in a group where you can meet new people.
A unique place to visit for sure!
