Sendero PR-A 282 Las Cascadas

Route description

We will walk around the headwaters of the Los Caballos river, made up of three main streams, Palmarejo, Horcajuelos and La Rejía; these last two are equipped for use as sports canyons.

The route starts next to the monument to the mountain goat. On the way we cross the left bank of the Valley of the Horses, passing through the ravines that feed it.

The turning point occurs under the Rejía waterfall, which has a vertical drop of 51 m.

The entire itinerary runs through peridotitic rocks, of igneous origin, very broken up and difficult to walk./p>

We will end up following the bank of this river, which we will wade through on several occasions.

Finally, we connect with a known path, which will take us to the starting point.
