Hiking

Known as the "Garganta Divina", this route between Cain (Leon, Castile and Leon) and Poncebos (Asturias) offers you the opportunity to walk between mountains that rise more than 2,000 meters above the bottom of the imposing gorge dug by the Cares River. You will see mythical peaks, cross bridges that connect both sides of the gorge, go through about 70 tunnels carved into the rock and witness an amazing natural spectacle.
