Description

Context The Comares ferrata is located on the steep northern face of the village, known as the 'Balcón de la Axarquía' in Málaga. This vertical limestone wall, equipped with pitons and life safety cables, features a drop of up to 53 meters and routes between 0.7 and 0.8 km long. The wind carries the scent of Mediterranean mountain flora, blending natural beauty with rich historical heritage.

The Experience Equipped with a harness, helmet, and descender device, you’ll climb the limestone wall by mastering pitons and safety cables under the guidance of a certified professional who ensures your safety at all times. On selected routes, the adventure continues with a long zip line that glides over the valley, offering an aerial perspective and a powerful adrenaline rush. The cold metal of the pitons contrasts with the rough texture of the rock beneath your hands.

Not recommended for pregnant individuals, those under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or people with severe physical conditions or vertigo.
