This sport, which consists in going into subterranean
caves, has its interest in avoiding the natural difficulties
that these caves have in them: subterranean
rivers, rocks, narrow ways… using machinery and techniques
developed by this speciality. We give different
options that can be taken out either by grown ups or by children,
that have different skill levels.
This activity can be taken out in any time of the year.
