Barranco Argumedo

Barranco Argumedo is a dry canyon with 13 rappels, the longest being 28m, requiring two 30m ropes and a shorty wetsuit. The approach from the upper parking takes 25 minutes, following a track, then a dry stone wall, and finally a path through a beech forest to the canyon start. The descent features numerous rappels, starting with short drops like an 8m rappel and a 5m rappel. Subsequent rappels include an 8m ramp, a 13m rappel into an intermediate pool, an 11m rappel to a ledge, and the first longer 20m rappel. Anchors are excellent, primarily using chemical bolts. This canyon typically has low water flow. It offers several escape routes and can be combined with other nearby canyons. The descent takes 2 hours, with a 30-minute return walk. It is rated v3-a1-II, making it a good option for those seeking a vertical challenge with minimal water.
