Cave of the Harlot

Cave of the Harlot

The Cueva de la Ramera (Cave of the Harlot) is a subterranean conduit that is located on the escarpment of the Beteta Sickleis a clear example of karst cave with breathtaking views of one of the most spectacular and beautiful river canyons of the Serranía de Cuenca: the Hoz de Beteta and Sumidero de Matasnos Natural Monument. Access is restricted and you can only enter accompanied by a guide, due to the delicate geological formations inside, as it is an important refuge for chiroptera (especially horseshoe bats).

The walking route is approximately one kilometre long, although the cave has many more galleries that cannot be accessed for safety reasons. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and some warm clothes, as the humidity inside the cave is high. The visit lasts about 40 minutes, during which time we will discover its whimsical formations and its most beautiful corners.

Difficulty: Low up to the access stairs (20 m high) as well as inside the cave.
