Itinerary description
As this is a short and gorgeous walk, it's also very popular. The track starts at a small parking near the public, surfaced road. Here you descend an unsurfaced road to the waypoint "Information panel". Here is also a tavern with its own private parking, so if you drink something here, you can park here as well. On the unsurfaced road there are no possibilties to park, apart from one spot where you cross a little stream and where 2 or 3 cars can park.
The walk has an adventurous "Indiana Jones" touch due to the many suspension bridges in the splendid gorge. There are a few points where you need to stoop or crawl, so walking sticks will hinder more than they can help. At the bridge "Puente de los Cahorros", you can return immediately or you can still continue to a small power plant (which is no special sight, but the path to it is still beautiful).
