Itinerary description
Great narrow canyon with lots of opportunities for practicing various techniques. In total there are 8 rappels, the highest of which is 10m. Dry in the fall and winter (except for one 0.5m deep puddle at the end), wet in the spring and early summer. Follow the track from the parking to the beginning of the canyon. This track follows the PR-30 trail a litle farther upstream so that you can also enjoy scrambling through the area of the stream bed with large boulders. It is possible to enter the stream bed a little bit earlier to bypass the boulders and to access the first rappel directly. After the final rappel, the canyon opens up and a path leads you back to the approach trail. Follow it back to the car in 10min.

Entorno precioso.
8 rápeles, muy sencillos, en un barraco encañonado muy divertido. Las reuniones están en muy buen estado, y constan de una reunión previa que permite montar un pasamanos para llegar al rápel.
También se ven pasamanos fijos de cuerda, que seguramente son utilizados cuando el barranco lleva agua.
