An ID card or regular passport is enough.<\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n    <button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaqXar(this)\">Is it suitable for children? <span class=\"flecha\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\r\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">Absolutely. The caves of Zugarramurdi and Urdax have very accessible guided tours. The route to the Xorroxin waterfall is circular, easy, and perfect for families. The rack railway to Larun is a hit with little ones. And Ainhoa is an easy village to walk around on foot.<\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n    <button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaqXar(this)\">How much does admission to the Zugarramurdi caves cost? <span class=\"flecha\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\r\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">The caves are freely accessible and free of charge. The Witch Museum has an admission fee. It is recommended to check the updated prices at the Zugarramurdi Town Hall or on its official website before visiting.<\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n    <button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaqXar(this)\">What is the best time of year to visit Xareta? <span class=\"flecha\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\r\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">Spring and autumn are the most spectacular seasons. In spring the green is intense and there are very few people. In autumn the beech forests turn ochre and gold and the atmosphere is magical. Summer is also very pleasant, though busier with tourists. Winter can be rainy, but the landscape has its charm.<\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n    <button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaqXar(this)\">Can you go by public transport? <span class=\"flecha\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\r\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">The most convenient way is by car. Although there is a bus line from Pamplona to Zugarramurdi, the frequency is limited and to move between the four villages a car is essential. From Casa Angiz the drive is less than 30 minutes on a comfortable road.<\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n    <button class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaqXar(this)\">What is the Xareta guide-passport? <span class=\"flecha\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\r\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">It is a free guide jointly published by the four municipalities of Xareta.
