Toirano Caves

The Toirano Caves are one of Liguria’s most surprising sights—hidden beneath the hills just inland from the Riviera. A guided tour takes you through winding tunnels and chambers filled with jagged rock formations, underground lakes, and walls shaped over thousands of years. What makes the caves unique is the blend of geology and archaeology: along the way, you’ll see bear bones from the Ice Age and human footprints left around 12,000 years ago. The path is easy to follow and well-lit, making it suitable for most visitors.
