Itinerary description

Long and rather exposed hike starting from Los Gigantes, following the first tunnel and than an exposed hike above the cliffs (following water pipeline embedded into the cliff, ~200-300 m drops).

Hike than follows the gorge upstream passing Galeria Natero, Galeria Natero 2 and Galeria Sauce 1. Note that the path from Galera Natero upwards is very old and has dissapeard in certian parts. If you loose the path it is best to follow the river bed.

After that it passes trough another tunnel (in direction south). Attention: This tunnel is closed however 1 bar in the gate is missing on each side allowing passage (if you are thin enough). After this tunnel another gorge is passed and last tunnel is found that takes you towards Tamaimo. From there you can either catch the bus back to los gigantes or simply hike down (adds another 5k to the route).

Hikes takes app. 5-6 hours.

WARNING: Route is very exposed in certian areas (between first tunnel and Galeria Natero), sure footing and good approach or trail running shoes are needed.

    Sadly the tunnel is closed with a big lock and you have to turn around. The way back is quite difficult!

    Helaas is het hek dicht en moet je dezelfde weg terug.
