It's not worth paying $5,000 pesos, it's not a cave at all and the person who serves is extremely poor, discourteous, rude, bad-tempered, a bad experience.

A must-see in the area to learn about the history of the Pincheira family and better understand the landscapes around Las Trancas. The surroundings are beautiful, with stunning scenery, waterfalls, and volcanic sediment formations. The route is short and quite easy, ideal for a family outing. It's not a place to visit every weekend, but I do think it's worth going at least once to experience it. A great addition to your itinerary and, incidentally, a little bit of wanderlust!
