Activity description

This amazing excursion is held in a renowned cave of the Cantabria region called Pared del Eco, which is the ultimate abseiling and climbing spot in the region.

You will meet with the team at our offices in Ramales de la Victoria, 20 minutes from Laredo, where you will be headed to La Pared, located just 10 mins away by car and 45min on foot. You will complete two abseiling jumps of 35m each linked by a fascinating handrail of 40m, for sure you'll get the adrenaline rush you deserve.

Abseiling is a technique for descending walls or steep sections using a rope. In the beginning, people would use ropes directly against their bodies to enhance friction and decrease the speed of the descent. Nowadays we use specific devices for this purpose – the figure eight, pulley abseil systems with or without brakes, tubular devices, or the Grigri to name but a few.

In the summer of 2013, our team set up several lines for abseiling in the area of Cueva Mur. Two abseils of 35 meters each, linked by a 40-meter railing. No previous experience is required. It is not suitable for people with vertigo or who do not feel comfortable with heights.
