Summary:
Abseil and hiking canyon, always in abundant water but unfortunately polluted from the above village. 5 abseils of which the highest is only 10m make it an ideal beginner canyon.

Access:
Debemos llegar a Júzcar, para ello iremos por la A397 (San Pedro de Alcántara - Ronda) y desviarnos por la MA7306 a Júzcar. Cruzamos el pueblo y al poco de salir, una curva cerrada a derecha. Cogemos la pista de la izquierda que tiene indicadores a la zona de baño y al camping. A unos 900m tenemos sitio para dejar el coche de acceso. Seguimos hasta abajo y al llegar al río buscamos donde dejar el coche de retorno.
Approach (15 min):
Juzgar, aka the smurfvillage, either park in the village and hike down from there. Or take a steep and curvy road to the below factory by the exit of the canyon, from which you hike up or do a shuttle. Other - and recommended - option is to park at the exit of Majales canyon and combine both canyons, visit Juzgar and go for food etc on the return hike.
Tour (2 h):
Sencillo barranco con 4 rápeles y varios destrepes, alguno se puede rapelar.
Return (1 h):
Possibility to clean the material at the local swimming pool and fountain (shortly before P at the exit of Majales canyon).
