For caving adventures, except in exceptional cases, visitors use their personal vehicles for which they are granted access to the track.

From the Arrakotchepia reception area located in Sainte-Engrâce (Calla district / Alt: 600 m), you are guided on the 7 kilometer route, 4 km of which is a concrete mountain track. This route crosses the village of Sainte-Engrâce (11th century Romanesque church), climbs through the beech forest and overlooks the Arphidia ravine.

The parking space at the entrance of the cave is limited and the possible locations will be indicated to you on the spot by the guide.
