Resource access level
It is recommended to check opening hours in advance and, for groups or educational visits, to book ahead to ensure availability and participation in guided activities. The visit can be complemented with a walk around the Peñas Albas area or with routes through the Garganta de los Infiernos Natural Reserve to observe the explained concepts in situ.
Opening hours may change depending on the time of year or staff availability, so it is not advisable to travel without confirming access in advance. During periods of heavy rain, the surrounding area may have puddles or muddy sections, so caution is advised when moving around access paths and parking areas.
