The Cove of the Wind (Grotta del Vento)

The Cove of the Wind (Grotta del Vento): All you need to know

Inside the cave, comfortable cemented footpaths have been built so as all the wonders of the underground world can be seen illuminated by spotlights: from the living, glistening stalactites and stalagmites, to the polychromatic flowstones and alabaster curtains, to the pools encrusted with crystals and the underground streams, to the strange types of erosion. All the visits are conducted by speleological guides who explain the various phenomena competently and accurately.

There are three itineraries to choose from: the " first one" (an hour), runs flat and is covered almost everywhere with splendid limestone formations; the " second one" (two hours), includes the first and illustrates a fascinating underground river which crosses overwide areas of smooth rock; the "third one" (three hours), is a complete tour of the cave and adds the thrill of a vertical section where the foorpath remains comfortable and safe even along the incredible passages suspended in the space of an abyss that never seems to end.
