Costa Quebrada Geopark
The Altamira cave is situated in an area with exceptional geology that aims to be acknowledged as a UNESCO Global Geopark. This Costa Quebrada Geopark helps us comprehend the evolution and retreat of the cliff coasts through an outstanding collection of examples of coastal forms. Additionally, it provides insight into how the territory of the Altamira people has transformed from the arrival of its initial inhabitants to the present day.

ACTE. Asociación de Cuevas Turísticas Españolas
Cada cueva es única y transmitir sus valores es fundamental para el desarrollo del denominado turismo subterráneo. En este sentido el Museo de Altamira participa en la Asociación de Cuevas Turísticas de España (ACTE), en la que no solo participan cavidades con manifestaciones de arte rupestre, sino también otras que destacan por valores como el geológico o minero. De esta manera, las sinergias que se crean dentro de la asociación permiten generar e intercambiar experiencias para la gestión de estos lugares mágicos, y trasladar sus resultados al público de este sector turístico tan particular.
