Hiking in the Canyon of Almadenes (Cieza)

Hiking in the Canyon of Almadenes (Cieza)

This is one of the most famous routes in the Region of Murcia, since the Almadenes Canyon is one of the 10 most beautiful canyons of the peninsula. The route is mountainous and runs through a vertical, aerial and colorful environment. The origin of this impressive cleft is where the river has been patiently drilling a dynamic and vertiginous geology that translates into about five kilometers in length and walls that range between 70 and 120 meters high.

We can observe different panoramas and visit the cave of the arch, where excavations are currently being carried out to obtain findings on the Paleolithic of the Spanish southwest.

The routes may vary depending on the level of the group.
