Description

Context The Pantano de Buendía, located in Cuenca, is a natural reservoir combining deep water and ideal limestone rock walls perfect for psychobloc. This tranquil natural space features water that acts as a soft landing for falls, with climbing zones reachable after a 3 km walk or a short boat ride. The rough-textured limestone blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, scented by wild thyme carried on the breeze. The experience You’ll begin with a safety briefing and basic equipment setup, followed by access to the climbing blocks either on foot or by boat. You’ll climb without harness or rope, feeling the cool water beneath you and the natural grip of the rock under your hands. A guide accompanies you in a kayak, providing immediate assistance and constant safety supervision. The session includes breaks for hydration and quiet moments to enjoy the stillness of the reservoir, where only the sound of splashing water breaks the silence.

Description

¿Te gustaría probar una práctica de escalada que te llenará el cuerpo de emoción? Se llama psicobloc o deep water soloing y consiste en subir por una pared vertical, pero sin ningún tipo de material  de apoyo o de seguridad y ¿por qué? Porque se hace en la costa o en pantanos, de tal modo que ante las caídas, tengas el agua como colchón. Estas aguas han sido previamente inspeccionadas, pues deberán contar con una profundidad considerable y no tener piedras ni objetos peligrosos. Cuando caigas, tendrás el apoyo del kayak, que te recogerá y te acercará hasta una zona para que puedas descansar. El lugar elegido para disfrutar de esta experiencia es un pantano de Cuenca, el de Buendía. Necesitarás saber nadar, de que aprendas a escalar, ya nos encargamos nosotros.
