After learning about the first notions of knots, and securing our gear, we will start our ascent. We’ll climb with the help of ropes over secured routes. So you’ll get to enjoy the magical sensation of feeling the rocks under your hands as you reach higher targets. Then, once we’ve practiced enough, we’ll get to learn about rappelling on a fixed rope.

What people are saying about Pedro

Pedro was so knowledgeable about the area, and graciously answered all our questions, even those unrelated to the hike. He was very kind in picking us up from Madrid for a small fee. He also took a bunch of photos of my husband and I during the trek, which I really appreciated since those are our only pictures together from our trip to Spain. I'd definitely recommend Pedro to anyone traveling to Madrid and interested in experiencing nature outside the city.
