At the heart of Spain&#8217;s largest region, the Autonomous Community of Castile and León, is one of nature&#8217;s most spectacular treasures, the Varlporquero Cave. Its formation dates back about one million years, during the Pleistocene, a geological epoch characterised by the first traces of humans, the formation of vast glaciers and intense climatic changes.
The entrance to the cave is located about 1,300 metres above sea level, just below the neighbouring village of Varlporquero de Torío, from which it takes its name. At a much lower altitude, around 3,150 metres, flows the Torío River, which can be accessed only by speleologists.
Opened to the public in the late 1960s, this attraction draws thousands of visitors annually. Guided along an approved four-kilometre pathway, visitors have the chance to marvel at the limestone formations of stalactites and stalagmites in all their beauty and uniqueness, showing the changes of the Earth&#8217;s climate through the ages.
Due to the delicate nature of the site, various sections open for exploration required appropriate lighting. The goal was to illuminate the rock formations&#8217; details as best as possible, ensuring a safe experience for visitors, while accentuating their majestic beauty. That&#8217;s why Disano was called in. The choice fell on its Koala spotlights, characterised by a rich variety of power outputs and optical systems. Moreover, these fixtures fit the most advanced LED sources that provide remarkable energy savings, great light uniformity and flux efficiency as well as an excellent colour rendering index, all technical characteristics that remain unaltered during their very long service life.
Aesthetically, Koala&#8216;s small dimensions allows the fixtures to blend seamlessly and harmoniously with the natural environment, emitting a light that can create evocative effects and emphasise the feeling of depth.
Through uniform, efficient, and spectacular lighting, the Varlporquero cave can now display Nature&#8217;s extraordinary treasures, safely and efficiently, thanks to Disano, a renowned Italian lighting manufacturer with a global presence.
