Top 5 Caves ズニガでの

This cave is closed , I went in July 2023

I went in July 2023. This cave is completely closed. There are signs from the Basque government saying DO NOT ENTER (and explaining the consequences and the work they're doing) and plastic tape blocking the entrance. There are lots of constructions tools around too. Don't expect to get in unless you're willing to destroy the small stone wall and all the tape blocking the entrance.

There are already two times that I try to access the cave and I can't. Although I have heard that it is not worth much, and the access does not seem easy.

Within the Urbasa-Andia Natural Park is this wonderful place with an interesting history related to its name. In addition to being one of the most spectacular caves in the area, its name dates back to the Carlist era in which it is said that General Zumalacarregui threw the shot soldiers of the other side, who were known as Cristinos or Isabelinos. Before going to the place, I recommend that you check on the official website if access is open, a while ago it was closed due to COVID (http://cuevacristinos.com/)

Very difficult descent of mostly loose rock with exposed sections. The beginning is a simple path. A section of about 20 meters must be ported. It is worth it for the views and going through the Ollabarren eye.

This one cannot be entered without special equipment, the hole is very large and seems deep, be careful not to get too close.

The truth is that I didn't really get to see it. I got as close as my instinct/fear allowed and didn't see the entrance. But later I met some mountaineers who told me that I did the right thing, that it was not worth the risk. I advise against trying it, not so much because of the metal ladder, which has no risk, but because of the path down.

I loved this Eye: the PR literally passes through the small cave that can be seen in the photos. A real joy.
