I had a blast on this excursion. I met so many amazing people and the experience was well worth the money. We saw "mars on Earth" mining area, went to the caves, had lunch in a local town and then walked to Arcena and overlooked the old and new city while seeing the castle and cathedral. Our Guide, Sergio, was incredibly kind, super knowledgeable, spoke 3 languages (French, English and Spanish), and really took the time to get to know each of us in the group 1:1. It was a small group of 9 and I can say we walked out of that experience with several new friends. I highly recommend this trip!

Too much wasted time.

Janice_H, Oct 2024
Mine and caves were nice but too much wasted time. Could have done the tour in half the time and spent more time at the 2 major attractions. Would have paid the same price to do the tour in 5 hrs vs 10.

varied and interesting

Jeremy_W, Dec 2023
very varied day with some spectacular views. It was also interesting and the driver/tour guide was very patient and interested/knowledgable about the areas seen. Would have been good to have forewarning that audioguides are no longer available in the cave (everyone should have a smartphone for that) and a bit more information in parts of the tour would have been fabulous

I regret

The only good was the Caves in Aracena, and the city. Eventhough the tour guides didn't show us the city they could take us close to the castle and plaza, the mines area experience not good, it was 4 hours or wasted time.

A wonderful City Getaway

Indrukwekkend

Leuke trip, het gebied rondom de mijnen is erg indrukwekkend om te zien. Heel apart landschap met veel kleuren. Genoeg vrije tijd in Aracena om uitgebreid te lunchen. Hele mooie grot, ik had alleen niet verwacht dat er zoveel trappen naar boven en beneden zouden zijn, dan had ik het waarschijnlijk niet geboekt ivm mijn moeder die wat slecht ter been is.
