grutas Caves and Volcanism Centre

Roughly 10 minutes by foot and 3 minutes drive from Casa da Piedade, The visit to the caves is very well organized, lasting about 30 minutes under the direction of specialized guides.

All this combines with the telluric imagination regarding the Centre of the Earth...
