Reaching the caves is simple: at a certain point on the path you will find yourself at an intersection, where a sign indicates the narrow branches that deviate from the main path to reach the first cave. The path to get to the caves is steep and downhill, so it is better to lean on the wooden protections that accompany the path. At this point you will reach the entrance to the caves: huge and incredible natural cavities, made of friable and porous stone, which contain a piece of human history inside. In fact, there are many traces left by our ancestors, including pebbles with particular engravings and with an unknown meaning.
