It offers an impressive approach along the right bank of the Minchones Gorge, where you can follow a path that takes you into the Chorro de la Ventera basin, where you can see centuries-old oak and chestnut trees.

This descent begins with a 12-meter-high rappel and a 10-meter drop, before reaching the impressive and famous Chorro de la Ventera waterfall. A 60-meter rappel takes you to its base, from where you will descend into an open area to see how the ravine gradually narrows. You will reach an area with three consecutive 30-meter rappels, where you will enter the most beautiful part of the ravine, thanks to its vegetation and its narrowing due to water erosion over millions of years.

Once you have completed the three rappels, you will begin an area of ​​small rappels and drops with a maximum height of 6 meters, where you will have to be very attentive and alert to navigate them.

The group consists of a minimum of 3 participants and a maximum of 5.

If the minimum group size is not met, the activity will be canceled. A small group supplement of €30 may be charged for groups of two people.

  3. Water, snacks, both at the beginning of the canyon and for later or during the descent.

 

It's very important to wear shoes with good soles and firm ankle support; slipping is common, and the progression is on uneven and wet surfaces, which can cause loss of balance.
