What you will find on a via ferrata: steel holds, chains, suspension bridges and zip lines, which allow you to safely reach areas that are difficult to access.

We will cross different hanging bridges and use tyrolean traverse.
At the end of this activity, we will take a walk through the fabulous village of Comares, known as “the balcony of Axarquia” for its incredible views of the surrounding sierras and the sea.
