Cueva de Valporquero, named after the nearby town of Valporquero, is located in the Los Argüellos mountains, close to the Torío river, who formed the gorge of Hoces de Vegacervera. This valley is an important route into the mountains and the river is the drainage of this karst area. The cave is located at the northern end of the gorge.
The cave is famous for numerous speleothems.
