The Lentegí Via Ferrata for a gentle beginner

---

This via ferrata is of medium difficulty (K3), making it ideal for a first experience of this magnificent activity. The length and duration are much shorter than the others.

The highlights are, of course, the vertical climb, but also crossing a suspension bridge over the Lentegí ravine and Tibetan bridges in an absolutely extraordinary setting.

Indeed, you can see not only the mountains but also the Costa Tropical and the sea. On a clear day, you can even glimpse Africa!

The excursion takes place at an Andalusian pace, in a good mood, and with a very friendly and expert guide: David. Before setting off (and putting on your helmet, gloves, and harness), the guide will explain the safety instructions and the route, along with interesting anecdotes about the region.
