The choice depends mainly on your physical condition, your experience with mountain activities, and the type of adventure you're looking for.

The Camaleño via ferrata is perfect for those who are new to via ferratas or are looking for a more gradual experience. It features some thrilling vertical sections and a spectacular cable bridge, but the route is shorter and more accessible, and it also has several escape routes in case you want to turn back.

The La Hermida via ferrata is longer and more challenging, so it is generally recommended for people with a bit more physical stamina or those looking for a more intense and varied activity. This via ferrata is one-way, so once you start, you have to go all the way to the end—there are no escape routes.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, and we'll always recommend the option that best suits your level.
