Barranco del Gorgo de la Escalera

The Barranco del Gorgo de la Escalera, near Anna, is a short and aquatic canyon with 3 rappels, the longest being 20m. The approach is 15 minutes from the parking area near the Anna river bridge, leading to the start directly under the bridge. Full wetsuit is recommended due to the aquatic nature. The descent begins with a 3m rappel or jump, followed by a swim. The second rappel is an 8m drop, also jumpable, leading into a scenic section. The final rappel, up to 20m, has multiple anchor options and bypasses the main water flow, ending in aesthetic cascades. Anchors are excellent, primarily chemical bolts. Several escape routes are available. The return walk is 20 minutes, crossing a wooden bridge. A 2x25m rope is required.
