Description

Traemos una propuesta que va dirigida a todos los que se sienten cómodos en las alturas: una combinación de dos vías ferratas, con las que tendrás más de tres horas de adrenalina asegurada. Se trata de una vivencia doble, con la que no tendrás dificultades en llegar hasta el lugar, ya que nos movemos hasta Madrid para ofrecerte la opción de trasladarte hasta aquí, en un gran vehículo, de hasta ocho plazas. Salimos desde la misma ciudad de Madrid, a eso de las 8 de la mañana, para poder aprovechar mejor la jornada y nos dirigiremos hasta Caleruega, en la provincia de Burgos. Llegaremos alrededor de las 10 y media y daremos inicio a la primera vía ferrata llamada El Ranero, la cual es de nivel K3 y se completa en una hora y media. Una vez terminada, descansaremos para luego empezar con la segunda propuesta, que es la vía ferrata ubicada en Soria y conocida como Espeja de San Marcelino. Esta es una vía de pasarela, algo más complicada, nivel K3-K4, y también más extensa, pues nos llevará unas dos horas. Este plan es ideal si buscas diversión y paisajes hermosos.
