A cool spray hits the face as the group steps from sunlit rock into the shaded throat of the Guadalmina. Water threads through steep limestone walls and invites you forward; the river dares you to jump, to swim, to trust your rope. Guides brief the team, tighten harnesses and scan the canyon’s line before the first controlled rappel.
