Description

Grotta di Monte Cucco (Monte Cucco Cave) is located on top of Monte Gucco in the Parco regionale del Monte Cucco, a nature park along the border between Umbria and Marche. The Tours are a little more strenuous than the average tourist cave, but the shortest tour is fully developed with trails, iron and plastic bridges and staircases, and with LED light. The longer tours are adventure tours which include rough terrain and crawling.
