One of the Best Places To Visits in Sare Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Very interesting .deep down into the hillside by 900 meters .easy walking. And plenty of steps to take you up or down .fossils galore .Water worn passages .evidence of the stone age man living areas .well worth a visit . We got a great private in English at the end of the afternoon. Super interesting history and insight into the Basque country and some of its extraordinary culture and language. The caves are nice, but what was really exciting was the bats nest on the ceiling. Very active bats and a bunch of young ones hanging there and flapping their wings in anticipation of food. Never saw so many bats, wild, in one place. Great! There are multiple stories told and histories found. The museum is small and features a bit of all these stories. The souvenir shop is very nice and sells gems, they own a huge amethyst! Buy tickets in advance. Closed on Wednesdays. Absolutely worthwhile. There is a lot of parking place, but not too many for campervans. Public toilet for free. I am so happy that the guide, movie and all surroundings support the importance of Natura 2000! Keep this site clean and natural, as much as possible. The cares are really nice. Take the guided tour, it's worth it. Lovely experience to learn about the historical and archaeological significance of the cave. The explained everything well and the multimedia elements added a special touch. If you are lucky, you might see some bats flying around! Remember to take something warm to put on in the as the temperature is around 14 degrees throughout the year. Note that you cannot take photos inside the cave. Incredible cave, gigantic, millions of years old, light show with a tour, bonus: dolmens and very small museum on site. That is so worth seeing, that's why you can't take pictures inside. It is a place full of history however during the visit this is not pointed out accordingly. In any case we had a good time, a little smaller than what we were expecting and taking pictures is not allowed inside the cave. Not the most interesting you’re likely to visit. Only guided tours in French are available and, although there is an audio in other languages as well as written notes in English, these are very brief and not informative. Only to be recommended for fluent French speakers. What a fab visit to these caves. We had the in French with English on our phones. But the young man who took us around was amazing. Very knowledgeable and took time to explain things to us.👍 Absolutely AMAZING. A fab enriching guided in French. Don't forget to be nice & tip the guide. Informative site… the museum, grotto and park all added to the experience.We were provided with a brief outline in English as our group and were French speaking. The town of Sare put a lot of effort into showing their caves in their best light. Timed projectors and speakers you through the layers of this pretty huge cave. The site is accessible to wheelchairs but only the entrance of the caves is.
