Branded as the iconic landscape of the Basque country, la Rhune houses a number of sightings, including the famous ‘Grottes de Sare’ : visit this prehistoric site and discover the legends surrounding it while renting your stay around Sare or in the Aquitaine region.

Scripted around animations of sound and light, you can enjoy the guided tour of the caves of Sare in any season. A course in three steps needs to be followed, addressing first the geology of the cave and its specificity, then prehistoric habitat and finally the sources of basque mythology according to anthropologist José Miguel de Barandiarán.

It is true that there are no stalactites or stalagmites, but the Sare caves contain many other secrets. We discover for example caves served as homes to prehistoric men and that they are still inhabited by some mythological creatures as the genius of "Guillen the Lamin”

However, the Sare caves today host a colony of 13 species of bats to the delight of children and parents, who will be aware of their protection.

The visit ended, megalithic Park and the Museum will welcome the entire family to prolong this adventure on the borders of the Basque country.
