The ride to the cave took around 35 minutes, and since we arrived early we also got to see another prehistoric site nearby. The cave tour itself was very nice, and the whole experience felt different and worthwhile.

Our guide to the site was very informative giving us a history of the area as well as the guide inside the caves.
