Description

Update information

Characteristics

This via ferrata, developed by Pena Aventura Park, is located within the park grounds and features two routes on the same rock face, offering slightly different difficulty levels:

Both routes share the same access point and finish at the same location.

The setting is scenic, following a river through a mix of forest and granite rock. Along the routes, you’ll encounter several types of bridges, including monkey, Tibetan, and Himalayan bridges.

⚠️ Some sections may still be under construction or being extended.

Route 1 (K2)

This route begins after crossing the Tibetan bridge.

⚠️ Do not continue onto any upper lines visible above, as they are not safely connected.

From the viewpoint:

The route ends in a forested area.

Route 2 (K1)

Starts just to the right of Route 1.

Route features:

Final section:

Transitions into a path with only a safety cable (equipped trail style). More shaded and less exposed to sunlight

Both routes merge at the same endpoint.

Arrival

Option 1 (Recommended – shortest access)

Option 2 (Longer approach via levada)

Approach

Option 1 (Approximate time: ~7 minutes)

From the hut:

This is the most direct and clearly marked approach to the ferrata.

Option 2 (Approximate time: ~40 minutes)

Follow the levada (irrigation channel) to its end

⚠️ Final section:

Alternative (not recommended)

There is an information point at 41.500818, -7.775312 warning about fluctuating water levels and flood risk.

Important (before the start)

A Himalayan-style bridge appears early (possibly recently modified), but may not provide safe or continuous access → Do not rely on it as the main approach.

Recommended route

This marks the start of the main equipped section.

Descent

From the end of the ferrata, follow the ascending trail. Connect to a forest track. Return to the parking area in approximately 2 minutes.
