Barranco Chorretones Inferior

The Barranco Chorretones Inferior, located in La Calera del Prado, is a short and aquatic canyon, almost always with water, requiring a full wetsuit. The 20-minute approach follows a track, passing a cattle fence and a section with a fixed rope before descending to the streambed. Anchors are excellent, with parabolts and chemicals. The descent features 4 rappels, often with options for slides or jumps into pools. The first drop is 6m, followed by a 7m rappel (or slide/jump) with double anchors. The longest rappel is 13m, ending in a large pool, and the final 8m rappel also offers double anchor options. Some rappels may have intermediate anchors for practice. This canyon is ideal for a quick, fun aquatic experience with well-equipped rappels and no escape routes. A single 30m rope is sufficient, and the return is a short 15-minute walk.
