A guided half-day multi-adventure in Los Cahorros de Monachil, the river gorge in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada near Granada, combines hiking, rappelling, swimming and climbing under a professional instructor. Participants walk through the canyon, cross hanging bridges, rappel down short rock faces and swim in river pools when the water allows. The route uses the same gorge as the popular hiking trail, but with ropes and guidance, so it suits beginners who want more than a walk.
