Barranco Gordo o Racuans

Barranco Gordo, also known as Racuans, offers a short approach of 10-45 minutes from Liri, depending on whether a 4x4 is used for the upper car park. The descent takes about 2 hours, with a quick 10-minute return. The canyon features 6 rappels, the longest being 30m. The first rappel is 10m into a shallow pool. The second, 12m, is in a narrow section with potential water movement and a log that can snag ropes; an alternative handrail setup is available to avoid this. The third rappel is 6m from a chemical anchor on the ground, leading to a bridge. Anchors are parabolts and chemical bolts, with escapes available throughout the canyon. A full wetsuit is recommended due to the a2 aquatic rating, indicating moderate water flow. The route can be combined with Barranco Chico.
