What to expect

You'll be collected from your Málaga accommodation and driven to the northern access point of the trail. After receiving water and a safety briefing, you'll walk the canyon path yourself—there's no forced pace, so linger where you like. The route hugs the gorge wall with the river far below; it's dramatic rather than technical, but genuinely vertiginous in places. Allow 2.5 hours to traverse it comfortably with photo breaks. Your guide meets you at the exit, and you'll relax on the coach back to the city. The whole outing takes roughly seven hours door-to-door.
