Full description
Did you think Malaga was just beaches and beach bars? Get ready to discover its wildest and most vertical face suspended over the Iznájar reservoir.
Break away from the usual and embark on a 3-hour adventure in the Sierra del Camorro! Become the protagonist of an epic route: overcome 3 suspension bridges, progress through thrilling drops and enjoy the best views of the Genil Valley under the supervision of certified guides. It's the perfect plan to challenge your limits, release adrenaline and discover that the authentic rhythm of the province is best felt by conquering heights.
What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Cuevas de San Marcos, about 15 minutes before the agreed time to begin preparations. There we will be welcomed and equipped with all the safety equipment - harness, dissipators, helmet and special carabiners - while we go over the rules for moving along the wall with total confidence.
We will walk for just a few minutes until we reach the base of the Tajo del Reloj, where the adventure begins in earnest. The start will put us to the test with a first drop that will require us to pull our arms a little, giving us the adrenaline rush we need to leave the solid ground behind. We will advance along a 300-metre long route where verticality is the main protagonist.
As we gain height, the excitement will increase as we face the most fun challenges of this ferrata: a Tibetan bridge and two monkey steps. Crossing these suspended cables is a unique experience that will make you feel the immensity of the landscape beneath your feet. In this wild scenery, we will progress through technical sections of clamps and lateral traverses where the life wire will be our best ally.
From the highest points, we will enjoy an unbeatable panoramic view of the Iznájar Dam and the Genil river valley. We will always be accompanied by certified guides who will teach us the best technique for using the carabiners and will motivate us to overcome each section at our own pace, ensuring that fun and safety go hand in hand.
The total experience (including preparation and approach) lasts about 3 hours. After reaching the summit, the return is a 20-30 minute walk down the mountain range to the starting point. We will share the last laughs and anecdotes of the climb before saying goodbye, with the satisfaction of having overcome one of the most aerial corners of Malaga.
