LOGISTIC

From our center, we will move by car to the low parking area (10 minutes), here we will leave one or more cars with towels and dry clothes inside, to continue towards the beginning of the route:

walk 25 minutes uphill
with other cars, 5 minutes
Entering the stream, a few meters of walking awaits us among the rocks and a small descent on a rope, then 6 or 7 abseils in sequence, including departures into the void, hanging pools and tobogans. The last waterfall can be tackled in a single pitch, 35 meters or divided into two 16 + 19 pitches. From here in 10 minutes we will be back at the lower car park.

The route is recommended for sporty people and/or people who have already had abseiling experience.
