Summary: no translation available

Gil Cobo is somewhat of the local testpiece, it comes with a shuttle of almost an hour but a reward of 0' approach, 5-7 hours canyon, high waterfalls, technical access (abseil 1 most notably), postcard watercolours, long transitions,... in a wild atmosphere.

Think long transitions and long shuttle. Start from area recreativa Gil Cobo (refuge is a little higher) by following the little stream. The lower P is among the olive trees (somewhat of 100m above the river bed, the last bit of forest road down is very steep and therefore best avoided in wet conditions especially and non 4x4 vehicle), upon exiting it is then best to hike up to the car, left 100m above on the opposite side. Legislation unsure.

Important information

Danger notice / Disclaimer

Walking in gorges (canyoning) involves non-obvious and potentially lethal dangers! In order to face them adequately, a thorough preparation of any walk is absolutely necessary. Reading the information available on this website is in no way sufficient for such a thorough preparation.

The available descriptions are based on personal experiences of different climbers and accordingly give a subjective impression of the conditions at a certain date in the past. The conditions can change significantly at any time due to, among other things, the weather (precipitation, snowmelt, ...) or possible events in alpine terrain (rockfalls, avalanches, ...). The described technical installations can also change radically due to natural events (floods, corrosion) or human intervention (vandalism, theft, ...).

Accordingly, neither the correct nor the complete description can be guaranteed by the site operators and creators of the information available here. Opencanyon.org disclaims any liability for damages of any nature!
