A LITTLE ABOUT EL CHORRO
The Desfiladero de los Gaitanes is a dramatic limestone gorge carved by the Guadalhorce river, world-famous for the Caminito del Rey walkway and its climbing history. Our via ferrata crosses the gorge's upper walls on fixed rungs and safety cables, with Tibetan and monkey-style bridge crossings high above the valley, before a rocky mountain descent.
