You step onto iron rungs with the gorge yawning beneath—rock walls rise in layered bands of limestone, light slicing into the clefts where griffon vultures wheel. The route threads exposed sections of the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, linking fixed ladders, two Tibetan bridges and a zipline that pushes the adrenaline across a 260‑meter drop in spots. The wind in the gorge has a voice; it tests your balance and speeds the click of carabiners.
