Cuenca del Rio Vero

Calcareous canyon, very deep and wide, with mutable streams according to the season. A wonderful environment, a quite easy way down and a lot of birds of prey are the peculiarities of this gorge, which doesn't require the employment of the rope. The only actual danger may be the descent of the narrow parts in case of very big streams of water.
