grutas de santo antonio

This amazing cave is a huge room with a countless number of stalactites and stalagmites in such a small area.It's amazing to see the wonders nature does. And also on the way to the caves it's possible to see very beautiful sights.

The drive to the caves from the coast was very scenic and they were well signposted from the roadside. We decided not to visit the more popular caves in the region in favour of this p,ace and we were pleased with the tour. Our guide spoke excellent English and added value to the visit with lots of information about the history of the caves and the formation of the stalagmites and stalagtites. The guide did an excellent job of delivering the tour in English, French and Portuguese.

These caves are a bit of a secret, but is a must see for all travelling in mid of Portugal. The guide spoke English well enougth to reveal the secret behind this chatedral made by drops of minerals trough thousands of years. Highly recommended.

The Santo Antonio caves are a nice surprise and respite from sunny, organic, lovely Portugal. There is a guided tour in Portuguese but the caves speak for themselves. The stalactite and stalagmites is fascinating; at times and in the dim light it looks like the set of a science fiction city. Get out of the sun and visit these caves, the scenic drive and the cave exploration is wonderful. Take a light sweater, it is a chilly 14-16C degrees inside the caves. There is natural water in the cave, so avoid flip-flops.

Mas pequeña que la de Mira de Aire pero preciosa. En esta gruta si hace frío dentro además que continuamente te suele caer gotas de agua encima. No sabes donde mirar porque todo es muy bonito y si además vas haciendo fotografías no sabes donde enfocar porque no quieres perderte ningún detalle. Volvería otra vez.

Mais umas grutas a não perder. Muito interessantes por dentro, excelentes formações. Das mais bonitas que tenho visto

Il percorso all’interno non è molto lungo, ma facendo il confronto con altre grotte che avevamo già visitato queste ci hanno colpito perché le formazioni di stalattiti/stalagmiti sono particolari e la parte centrale è ampia quindi consente di avere un “panorama” generale anziché una serie di cunicoli e anfratti.Noi abbiamo partecipato alla visita in portoghese/inglese. La signora che ci faceva da guida è stata gentilissima e ci ha dato tante spiegazioni.Un consiglio: portatevi un golfino perché la temperatura all’interno delle grotte è costante a 16°C.Il costo della visita è 5,80€ a persona.

Accueil très pro, entrée pas donnée mais bon, il faut bien qu'ils vivent l'hiver...Prévoir une laine pour les enfants et les plus frileux.Quel contraste avec la canicule de l'extérieur....On descend par un grand escalier droit assez impressionnant. Attention à ne pas glisser.A l'intérieur de belles chambres, de grands stalagmites et stalagtites, des voiles de mariées, on est subjugué par les perspectives.Très beaux éclairages qui mettent en valeur le lieu insoliteLe guide ne parlait que portugais mais ma chère et tendre le comprend très bien.La traduction est néanmoins facultative.Les enfants ont vraiment adoré, sauf quand on remonte dans la torpeur....
