    Tips

    July 18, 2023

    Access trail to the famous caves of Olelas, it is a first "path" almost impossible to do with a bike due to the density of the flora, mainly thornbushes and brambles and a few other species. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to wear a long-sleeved shirt and any kind of leg protection (pants or knee-high socks and shin guards). I didn't get much information about the caves, just that some archaeological finds were found there, namely pieces of flint, a stone that in prehistoric times was often used to make rudimentary tools, such as knives and spearheads. Flint is also used, was and continues to be used for starting fires.
    Some bones of humans as well as animals were also found.
