Suits first-timers with a head for heights; this books the climb, not the boardwalk route. **Best climb:** The climbing alternative: via ferrata walls, two cable bridges and a 30 metre zip line with all gear included, at €65 per group/vehicle per group. 4.97 from 76 reviews. Trade-off: Not the boardwalk route itself. (last checked September 1, 2026) In our comparison: #3 of 23 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview This activity takes place in a unique environment, surrounded by rugged mountains and lakes. An adventure in nature full of sensations which highlights the zip line of more than 30 meters and the 2 cable bridges over the void. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We will meet in the south parking lot of… - Starts 08:00, 09:00: 2 departures a day - Age rule: Not recommended for children under 14 years of age **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €65 per group/vehicle for the Open group option; other options up to €390 - Duration: 4h - Rating: 4.97/5 from 76 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Sendero Sur Aventura - Group: Shared tour · private option available - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Start times: 08:00, 09:00 - Booking: mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-02 ## Reviews 4.97 from 76 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 76 of 76. - 5 stars: 74 (97%) - 4 stars: 2 (3%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the patient guidance and varied route; the climbing can demand considerable strength. **Praised:** - Patient encouragement and support through difficult climbing sections - Clear explanations of climbing techniques, equipment and safety - A varied route combining climbing, a zip line and cable bridges - Mountain views throughout the climb - Photos and videos taken by the guide during the climb **Complaints:** - Some find the route manageable for beginners while others report strenuous climbing - Exposed bridge crossings and the zip line can feel frightening Written by Guidekin from the 55 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2023-01-08 to 2026-09-27); last checked 2026-10-04. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Open group | €65 per group | Spanish, English | Open group. 3 pax minimum | | 1 person | €175 per group | Spanish, English | Private Guide for 1 person | | 2 people | €200 per group | Spanish, English | Private guide for 2 people | | 3 people | €225 per group | Spanish, English | Private guide for 3 people | | 4 people | €260 per group | Spanish, English | Private guide for 4 people | | 5 people | €325 per group | Spanish, English | Private guide for 5 people | | 6 People | €390 per group | Spanish, English | Private guide for 6 people | ## What's included - Helmet, harness, gloves and anchors ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 08:00, 09:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-02 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point We will meet in the south parking lot of Caminito del Rey in the neighborhood of El Chorro.
