Open rappel canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

From Madrid on the N1/E5 92 km northward or from Burgos also on the N1/E5 145 km southward, until you reach the Puerto de Somosierra. From here, enter the village of Somosierra. At the northern edge of the village, the old pass road - now a dead end - goes downhill. After about 200 m, a dirt road leads away from the old pass road to the right in an easterly direction. Park your car here.

Approach (25 min): machine translated ➜

On said dirt road a few hundred meters, then you can already see the main cascades. Before the path reaches the cascades, follow the orographic tracks on the left slope upwards, bypassing the rocky outcrop at the edge of the cascade and descending in a northwesterly direction to the streambed.

Tour (1 h 20): machine translated ➜

5 rappel, see photos

Return (8 min): machine translated ➜

After the last cascade, go out to the left onto the dirt road and back to the car.
