Villalba de la Sierra is a small town serving as the gateway into the Serrania de Cuenca located 2 hours east of Madrid and only 25 min. away from Cuenca. A few kilometers from the town, the Portilla Canyon awaits you for your canyoning introduction.
The Portilla canyon in Cuenca is the perfect canyon for anyone looking to experience a day in nature with plenty of abseils, the longest one of 12 m.! The final segment of the canyon is characterized for its narrow halls that will give the feeling of being in Earths bowels!
Regardless of the multiple abseils, you'll be required to sort out, the Portillo is perfect for a canyoning introduction. Since you'll be supervised by Yurok Adventures' guides, you'll be in complete safety!
After meeting your guide in Villalba de la Sierra early in the morning, you'll head on by car towards Portilla. Then, you'll get geared up with all necessary canyoning equipment including neoprene wetsuit and a helmet. There, you'll also be explained how your first canyoning experience will happen and all safety measures in order for you to stay safe.
After everyone is ready, you'll have a 30 min. hike towards the entrance of the canyon. Once you've reached its entrance, you'll get ready to make your way down this amazing canyon by any means necessary. In canyoning, you'll need to walk, jump, slide, swim and even abseil down waterfalls so you can make it to the end!
The canyon of Portilla is an aquatic canyon that is complemented with many abseils that will guarantee an adrenaline fix!
