These caves and natural shelters have been occupied by man since the dawn of time.

Exceptional hike. A slightly steep climb at the start, with some tricky sections in places, especially for children (not before 8-10 years old) or hikers who suffer from vertigo. Bring water in hot weather, even if the route is quite shaded. Note the welcome presence of a fountain on the descent, after point 2. Return to river level only at the last km. Numerous cavities and caverns on the return.
