Descent of the Calera Gorge in Asón-Agüera

The Garganta del Calera is a versatile ravine that every canyonist dreams of: dry in summer and completely flooded in the rainy season. This canyoning route is ideal and no matter at what time of year you decide to try it, whenever it is, you will have a great time, and if you think that a dry canyon it's not that fun, so you don't know this one. Go reserving 3 hours of a day and look for the shortest route to Ramales de la Victoria , in the Cantabrian region of Asón-Agüedo , because this plan is irresistible.

You will only need to bring bathing clothes, a towel, a change of clothes and water. Forget the rest because we will take care of it: necessary equipment, safety materials, professional guides and previous training will be our part, since it is a initiation canyoning route .

Of the Garganta del Calera we could mention countless things: its environment that seems to be taken from the Jurassic Park movie, its chimneys and canyoned passageways, or the chaos of rocks and vegetation in which it is immersed. However, what we have to highlight about this canyoning route is its amazing verticality, which makes it an ideal place to have a dose of powerful adrenaline or to start in the world of rappel (or both).

Be that as it may, rest assured that your pulse will be racing from beginning to end, starting by navigating the slopes of a small cave with the help of a hanging handrail and continuing with an endless chain of rappel descents > until the end. Yes, you read that correctly, after overcoming the handrail, the only thing that is waiting for us is rappels. And do not rappel them short ... But authentic abysses: the first of 8 meters, the second of 15, the third of 9, the next of 6 and culminating of 12.

A high altitude adventure that you cannot miss. Are you up for the descent of the Garganta del Calera ?
