Barranco Puerto Ramos
Barranco Puerto Ramos is a dry, vertical descent near Antequera, featuring 7 rappels with the longest being 26m. The approach takes 20 minutes, involving a climb up a track and then a path, which can be confusing due to many trails. The descent itself is about 1 hour. The rappels include a 10m vertical drop, a short 5m rappel into a dry pool, a 22m rappel offering good verticality, and a 7m rappel with an awkward exit. There are also a 7m downclimbable rappel and a 20m rappel leading to a fixed rope section before the final 26m rappel. Anchors are chemical bolts. No wetsuit is typically needed, depending on the minimal water flow. Two 30m ropes are required. The return walk is a quick 15 minutes.
