Description

Context", "The double via ferrata in Benaoján and Montejaque is located in the Serranía de Ronda, within the Natural Park Sierra de Grazalema—a protected area known for its karst formations and iconic caves such as Cueva del Gato and Cueva del Hundidero. The Montejaque route climbs 178 meters over 258 meters of terrain, including a 72-meter zip line. Meanwhile, the Benaoján route features a 90-meter vertical section with two rappels and a swinging Tibetan bridge. The wind carries scents of thyme and resin, wrapping around the limestone rock.", "The Experience", "The day begins in Montejaque with a safety briefing and equipment fitting. You'll climb over overhangs and navigate a zip line that tests your strength and balance. After a short transfer, you tackle the Benaoján route, where the Tibetan bridge sways beneath your feet and the rough texture of the rock guides every handhold. The constant sound of wind and nature accompanies you throughout these technical, vertical climbs.", "For Whom", "This activity is designed for experienced via ferrata participants with prior experience and good physical fitness. Participants must be over 16 years old. It is not suitable for beginners, those with acrophobia, or individuals with limited mobility. Ideal for those seeking a medium-to-high difficulty challenge and who enjoy vertical climbing and adventure sports.", "Local Context", "The Serranía de Ronda has a strong tradition in mountain sports and rock climbing. The villages of Benaoján and Montejaque maintain a deep connection to nature and rock. The region is renowned for its rich biodiversity and unique geological formations, attracting climbers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.",
