Anfahrt:
Valporquero, take first road left (sign for Atalaya), large parking.
Zustieg (15 min):
From parking Atalaya, head east on a rocky trail to the gated entrance (2025: no key needed).
Tour (3 h):
Many fixed ropes (often 3 lines, it gets busy in high season), but a few abseils still have to be installed. The most impressive one is the 3rd one, which is overhanging and dropping into a room with beautiful formations (25-30m). The bigger abseils can be broken down to 30'ish meters or done in one go with 50/60m ropes. Two more splashy abseils outside, followed by a river crossing or flying fox (tyrolienne). In high season: count more time and dress warm for possible waiting times.
Rückweg (5 min):
After the 2 abseils in open air, cross the main stream (if low water) or use the Flying Fox a little downstream.

Done after canyon 40 aniversario. High flow but possible thanks to local guide. Luckily i visited the touristic cave as well, bcs the beauty of it is obviously more impressive (lights, deco...) than the traverse. All alone in both the cave, canyon and traverse.
Geschehen nach Canyon 40 aniversario. Hohe Strömung, aber möglich dank der lokalen Führer. Zum Glück habe ich auch die touristische Höhle besucht, denn die Schönheit der Höhle ist offensichtlich beeindruckender (Lichter, Deko...) als die Querung. Ganz allein in der Höhle, Canyon und Traverse.
