We had a fantastic time! The route was strenuous, but extraordinarily fun! Our guide, Marta, was amazing and helped us at every step of the way.

Amazing experience, Joseph, our guide was very nice and it was interesting to discuss with him about the mountain, the culture and local food ! I recommend the experience. Only negative point was a mix up in the planning which made us start the via ferrata 1 hour later than planned.

    Joseph was an amazing guide. He made us all feel comfortable and my two teenage boys (19&16) both really enjoyed this adventure. I would highly recommend doing the via Ferrata if you’re looking for something different. I have to say you need to be pretty fit to do this. At a few points you’re using a lot of upper body strength to pull yourself up, atleast I was because I wasn’t tall enough to rest on one of the ledges. Joseph offered to help me with a side rope but I was determined to do this on my own. Joseph was funny and keep us entertained with different stories and information on the plants that inhabit the area. This adventure is definitely not for the weak of heart, you will be suspended high above ground plenty of times, but the views and thrills are so worth it!

    Thank's Li for your review!!!

    A Thrilling Experience!

    Michael_C, Apr 2026
    This was an amazing experience and Alejandro was an amazing guide. With a daughter who loves rock climbing, this seemed a fun way to share her passion without needing quite as much skill. It was a ton of fun and we got some amazing views! We were a bit worried that we wouldn't be able to do it due to rain, but we were able to wait it out. Alejandro was very patient with us, making sure we did everything safely and in control, but also making sure we enjoyed ourselves throughout.

    Via ferrata with a novice

    Hamish_R, Oct 2025
    My wife’s first via ferrata. She’s about to be a grandmother but was up for giving it a go. Our guide realised she has the jitters before we set off, so put her on a top-rope for the first pitch. He was calmly encouraging and she was fine once she got going. All went well. Everyone had a great time.

    Thanks for your review!

    Family fun!

    Paulette_H, Sept 2025
    Our guide Antonio was awesome! He explained our climb, the suspension bridges and zip line experiences ahead of our trek. Throughout our 3 hr experience Antonio made certain we were all comfortable and managed my fears on the monkey bridge. We all enjoyed our time and definitely recommend it to anyone up for a unique adventure!!

    Response from Host, Sept 2025

    Thank you Paulette!!! You really were an adventure family💪🏻

    It was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life!

    Isabel_G, Nov 2024
    I went climbing, ziplining, and hiking during this wonderful adventure. Antonio was very professional, diligent with safety, patient, friendly, and very kind person. It’s an excellent and unique way to explore the “Caminito del Rey” for adventurous souls like mine. I would absolutely do it again without a doubt. Highly recommended!

    We had a wonderful time on the Via Ferrata with Alejandro. He did a great job explaining everything and keeping us safe. This was our son's favorite part of our weeklong trip to Spain.

    Unique Must Do

    Ramiro_A, Oct 2024
    This is a fun and unique experience for any one around El Chorro. Took my wife and 13 year old and they loved it. Can be a bit challenging but that’s what makes it fun. The views are amazing and you might catch a mountain goat in action.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Gracias Ramiro!!!

    An adventure not to be missed.

    Csaba_D, Aug 2024
    The hike was great. Fortunately, the weather was pleasant for climbing. I had never climbed before, only on indoor climbing walls. So, this was a completely new experience. And it was wonderful because the view was simply amazing, climbing on the rock face was exciting, an experience not to be missed. The tour guide was very professional, kind, funny, and helpful in everything. The best tour guide. I can only recommend it to everyone. It was an unforgettable experience.

    Thank you!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Great day in the mountains with Antonio

    Craig_H, June 2024
    Antonio was a great guide, very experienced and we felt safe at all times. A real lovely guy and the conversation flowed as we climbed and his knowledge of the area is excellent. 100% recommend this activity if this is your thing and your fit enough.

    Go go - beautiful experience and nature

    First time Via Ferrata

    Katy_M, Apr 2024
    This experience was one of my fave things I did during my week in Spain! I had total confidence in my guide and felt really safe under his instruction. My first time doing Via Ferrata and I want to do more now! Would highly recommend this experience looking for a bit of fun and challenging adrenalin!

    Amazing Via Ferrata Trip

    Fun day trip with some amazing views. Alejandro was a great guide and explained everything clearly before we started. Fine for beginners who are comfortable with heights!

    The best tour in years

    Johannes_D, Mar 2024
    The tour is fantastically beautiful, the guide couldn't have been better. We would do the trip again at any time. Many thanks again for the great day

    A True Life Experience! So Glad We Did It!

    Diane_C, Nov 2023
    I can't say enough about this phenomenal experience with Alejandro! He was an amazing guide and we always felt safe. The via ferrata is a must do experience if you enjoy climbing and a challenge. We used a climbing harness to climb the iron rungs and also did a zipline and two monkey bridges. Beautiful scenery in a beautiful area!!!

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Thank you Diane!!! We are glad you enjoyed!

    Best part of our trip

    Peter_N, Mar 2023
    Amazing experience. Our guide, Alejandro, was great and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Just having it be my spouse and I made it that much more memorable compared to the other guide options where you are in a group. Would 100% do this again.

    Thanks Peter!! I'm glad you enjoyed. Your are welcome whenever you decide to come.

    Great adventure experience. Challenging track not for everyone but for the adventurers this is very suitable. Was very quiet so we imagined ourselves alone in the nature reserve. Nice and cozy guide Joseph who was full of facts and cozy stories. Have entertained us very much.
