Traveling south through the towns of Oranmore and Kilcolgan, you will enter The Burren region at Kinvara. The Burren, named from the Gaelic word Boireann, is an area of limestone rock that spans imposing, majestic mountains and tranquil valleys with gently meandering streams. A deeply peaceful atmosphere, an extraordinary array of flora and wildlife, and megalithic tombs and monuments older than Egypt's pyramids create a tapestry of color and a seductively magical aura that keeps visitors coming back for more.
At Ballyvaughan, visit the impressive Aillwee Caves -- the most important caves in Ireland. The story of Aillwee began millions of years ago. It is a stunning creation of nature formed by the melting waters of the prehistoric Ice Age. The cave, carved out of limestone, cuts into the heart of the mountain -- an underground treasure waiting for you to discover it today.
Following your memorable visit to the caves, rejoin your motorcoach and guide to return to Galway.
