The site was established in 2001 and has grown steadily with the addition of new climbing routes and attractions each year. Over time, the park expanded its offerings to serve a wider range of visitors and skill levels.
The name connects to the prehistoric heritage of this area, which is known for its caves and evidence of early human settlement. Visitors experience this historical link as they navigate through the trees and encounter the landscape shaped by these ancient stories.
The park is situated in a forested area beside the Vézère river and is accessible by foot or car from the village. Visitors should wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes, as the climbing activities take place in trees and the terrain can be uneven.
