Summary:
Orății is a short canyon, mostly dry throughout the year, but nevertheless, particularly interesting, with a high degree of commitment, as retreat is not possible after descending the second waterfall. Access and retreat are very easy, but its morphology and the fact that it is accessible all year round make it particularly attractive.
