It's important to know

Wear comfortable sport clothes that you don’t mind if they get a bit dirty. You will get a protective layer to put through. Mind that inside a cave a temperature is always around 10°C. You must also wear sturdy hiking boots with a good grip, as the cave part of this adventure is very muddy and the hiking part is very steep.
