Access:
Valporquero, take first road left (sign for Atalaya), large parking.
Approach (15 min):
From parking Atalaya, head east on a rocky trail to the gated entrance (2025: no key needed).
Tour (3 h):
Many fixed ropes (often 3 lines, it gets busy in high season), but a few abseils still have to be installed. The most impressive one is the 3rd one, which is overhanging and dropping into a room with beautiful formations (25-30m). The bigger abseils can be broken down to 30'ish meters or done in one go with 50/60m ropes. Two more splashy abseils outside, followed by a river crossing or flying fox (tyrolienne).
In high season: count more time and dress warm for possible waiting times.
Return (5 min):
After the 2 abseils in open air, cross the main stream (if low water) or use the Flying Fox a little downstream.

Done after canyon 40 aniversario. High flow but possible thanks to local guide. Luckily i visited the touristic cave as well, bcs the beauty of it is obviously more impressive (lights, deco...) than the traverse. All alone in both the cave, canyon and traverse.
