Mendukilo, access to the heart of Aralar

  • According to some researchers, the subsoil is the last continent to be explored. Today we visit Mendukilo's Sima, in the skirts of the Sierra de Aralar, in the Valley of Larraun (Navarra). With the aim of showing the underground treasures to anyone who wants, in 2005 the way opened to enter this special world.
Laminosin gela.

The access to the dragon fort is 350 meters and is divided into five rooms, but currently, in order to preserve the fauna and the quality of the cave, three of them remain open. For an hour and a half visit, the visitor will be able to visit the Artzainzulo room, illuminated by the sun, and the fort of Laminosin and Herensuge, away from the sun, twenty meters high and 60 long. Mendukilo counts, as has been said, with two other stays, although they are not seen on the visits, with a large Guerrero hall and a fort from Intxixu, a narrow downward tube. In addition, the Laminosin Hall has a non-visited space. But the three rooms that the visitor will meet will surely leave you amazed.

Many geological formations, stalactites and stalagmites, show the spectator the way of water. Some are dead, because the water doesn't work there, and others are alive. They all look closely and their uniqueness gives rise to the first surprise.

The dragon accompanies us

In addition, the program will deal with cave related legends. The story of the dragon of the legend of Aralar, for example, will give much to talk along the way. One of the protagonists is the formation that seems to his mouth.

The entire visit takes place through a hallway, accompanied by dynamic lighting, and through the stairs the visitor will know some of the secrets of the cave. In order to facilitate the difficulties of the subsoil, anyone who wishes to do so will be able to take the tour of the cave. On the visitor's faces you see the excitement that subsurface secrets provoke. Families dominate and the eyes of children reflect the grandeur of these most appropriate caves. “What is that interior of the mountain feels great, what is darkness and what is tranquility. In addition, on the road you understand how water has done its job for millions of years,” says a visitor.

Fleeing from that tranquillity, those who seek adventures have their place in Mendukilo. Accompanied by a thick rope, beyond the heart of the cave, they will be able to reach the intestines, descending 70 meters down the cave. Coming down to this height so far from the earth’s surface, shutting down the lights of the hulls, adventure lovers are looking for a moment for silence, as they can listen and live the depths of the cave.
