Tuff rappel canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

From Almuñecar, at the traffic circle, turn towards Otivar. Pass through Otivar and continue on the main road towards Granada. Shortly after Otivar, the road crosses the Rio Lentegí and climbs higher and higher in many hairpin bends, passing the transmission towers and the Parador de la Cabra Montes with a now abandoned (2006) gas station. About 1.6 km after the gas station to the north, after a bridge to the left, a relatively bad, but with a normal car still passable gravel road, which leads at the exit in many hairpin bends down into the valley. 4 km after the beginning of the road, in a rightward haipin bend, you will find a sign of the Delegación Provincial de Medio Ambiente with instructions for canyoneers. Park the car here.

Approach (20 min): machine translated ➜

In the haipin bend, a path continues straight towards the dam. The path crosses the stream after the dam. At the next fork, turn right and continue uphill until you reach the Barranco Funes stream, which flows down from the top right of the reservoir (approx. 15 min. walk). Here, turn left along the stream until you reach the edge of the waterfall. You can rappel both the right and the left stream. It is worth doing both.

Tour (1 h): machine translated ➜

The Barranco de Funes is not a canyon, but a succession of very beautiful open tuff waterfalls following a small lake. The views are impressive.

Return (40 min): machine translated ➜

After finishing the rappelling routes and a short downclimb, you will reach the stream of Barranco Rio Verde-Pito, which flows down in the valley. In the stream upstream until there is an opportunity to climb orographic left few meters of altitude and return to the car on the path (about 10 min back).You can also go downstream and connect the Rio Verde-Chorreras (see description there).
