Gorge walking in Andalusia is another of our specialities. Our autonomous community has numerous places to descend gorges, which are apt for all levels (for some of them absolutely no prior experience is necessary and for others it would be convenient to have a good level of physical fitness). The gorge walking descents are made surrounding a river (whether it has flowing water or not). It could be defined as a combination of activities (like for example diving into the water from a rock or abseiling (down a waterfall with its corresponding safety measures) exercises with which the participants make progress down through the canyon until they arrive at the end point. If you would like to enjoy contact with nature, work out some adrenaline and have a great time, try out our gorge descent!

 

SaltaRios organizes various sessions of this activity in a number of Andalusian provinces: gorge walking in the River Verde and Lenteji (in Granada); Almanchares and Sima del Diablo (Malaga); Genilla (Cordova); Calzadillas (Seville); and Canyon de la Bolera (Jaen). Gorge walking in Granada (in river Verde and Lenteji) is amongst the most highly recommended activities by our clients.
