Canyoning in El Gargantón
The guys from “Action Vera” took us on a descent down the Gargatón gorge. It’s an amazing experience that takes you by the stair-step terraces of the Guijo de Santa Bárbara (they’re incredible but forgive me for not bringing my camera…an expensive reflex camera and waterfalls are not a great mix!). The Gargantón starts around 1650 meters above sea level and finishes at the Garganta Jaranda near where we parked. It’s a great place for first-time canyoners although the prospect of jumping into the water from 25 feet up did give some of our group a moment of pause. I’d definitely do it again.
