Take a look at the canyoning offers in Granada.
Within the municipality of Lentegí there are two areas to practice canyoning: the Guadarjama ravine and the Lentegí ravine. They can be done separately or both on the same day. The first area is Guadarjama and the second is Lentegí.
Here we show you everything you need to know about these two ravines.
The Guadarjama Ravine and the Lentegí Ravine, Granada
Lentegí Ravine
The Lentegí ravine is located in the municipality that gives it its name. It is located very close to the Tejeda y Almijara Natural Park. It is a quite popular ravine as it is near the large ravine of the Verde River, in Otivar. It is not very crowded, which makes this ravine a more special reserve.
The Lentegí River bed is a canyon of calcareous formations that stands out for its green and crystalline waters, its jumps, slides and rappels of up to 25 meters. It has a total of 12 rappels and several high-altitude slides.
The Lentegí ravine has two entry options to begin the descent: along the Guadarjama river bed that intersects with the Lentegí 4 kilometers below; or by the Lentegí river itself but higher up.
The route of the ravine begins with a dry channel that then becomes vertical. At the end of this section you will find a 27-meter rappel divided into two parts.
Then comes an area with more water flow where the first pools will appear. From here comes the most difficult but most fun area. The first rappels and pools appear in a closed canyon.
The most notable thing is a beautiful 25-meter waterfall at the beginning of this section. Continue with several rappels and pools until the canyon opens up. There are a total of 15 rappels during the entire descent.
The route of the ravine is 6000 meters long and It has a slope of 350 meters. The difficulty is medium-high and the duration of the descent is approximately 5-6 hours. It has such a good flow that the descent can be done at any time of the year.
Guadarjama Ravine
The Guadarjama ravine is a little-known ravine located inGuadarjama. This ravine ends where the waters of the Lentegí River ravine begin. The Guadarjama River is a tributary of this river
The route of this ravine, with carbonate rocks, is 4000 meters long and has a gradient of 350 meters. It is a ravine of low-medium difficulty so you can do the descent with children.
The duration of the descent is approximately one hour and 45 minutes. The canyon can be done at any time of the year. As soon as we begin the descent, the first rappel appears. In this section you will find rappels and waterfalls from 8 to 17 meters.
Once this section is finished and before reaching the Lentegí ravine, you will reach the most aquatic area of the ravine. In this section you will find jumps into pools, slides and a large 25-meter rappel down a waterfall that is amazing.
This ravine ends up introducing you to the Lentegí ravine route. A rappel will be responsible for placing you within the channel of the narrow river
