These caves, carved out of the rock, were restored in the 1950s by the Brotherhood of Jesus, which makes them available for walkers and spiritual retreats. Previously it is said that they were used by the bandit "Cucaracha" who frequented this area and hid in the cave where the hermitage is today.

Surprising place for the hermitage carved into the rock. Next door is a shelter for emergency overnight stays. Very good views from the hermitage itself and if you go to the top it is a first-rate viewpoint of the area.

A group of natural caves located on the slopes of Mount San Caprasio, associated with ancient pastoral, hermitage, and possibly even pre-Christian uses. Some were used as shelters for shepherds or anchorites, and local tradition links them to the primitive cult that gave rise to the hermitage. Relatively easy to access from the track or the hermitage, they are a curious place to explore on foot, with views of the Ésera Valley and an utterly silent environment. They add a mystical and ancestral touch to any route in the area.
