For cannier, but just as rewarding trips in the surroundings of Lourdes, tourists might choose to visit the Betharram Caves (Les Grottes des Betharram). The Betharram Caves are said to be some of the most spectacular in the world. The fact they are just 15 kilometers from Lourdes, as well as the fully conceived programs for the visitors turn this objective into a really appealing and inspired daytrip destination.
