Gorgo de la Escalera is a water-filled gorge near Anna in Valencia province, ideal for canyoning, and it is about 1 hour 55 minutes by car from Lago Rosa Apartment.
This is an outing for people who like to do things. In the gorge you follow a river with a guide, via natural slides, jumps and stretches of swimming. The highlight is a 25 metre abseil right beside a waterfall. Operators call it one of the most beautiful gorges in the Valencia region, and you can build up slowly: the jumps and abseil are optional.
Alicante Aventura lists a four-hour trip, from age 8 and suitable for the whole family, with an easy approach from the car. Its activities come with a qualified guide, technical equipment and insurance. Other operators mention a trip of two to three hours, or a slightly different minimum age, so read carefully what applies to yours.
Anna is a long way inland, about an hour and a half by car from Alicante. So make a day of it and leave in good time.
Our tip: booking and what to bring
Book at alicanteaventura.com, the same operator as the coasteering. Bring good shoes and water.
Who it suits
You need to be able to swim and not be put off by cold water. Ask the guide if anything worries you, as many parts can be skipped.
