Cueva de Valporquero (Curso agua)
not verifiedpermit unconfirmed 2026-08-19
Ungraded
Unknown flood risk
Felmin, Leon
Thirteen rappels through true cave passage make this route through the Valporquero karst system a classic of Spanish speleo-canyoning near Vegacervera.
Flow is the deciding factor, several sections are genuine cave with no easy bail, so check water levels before committing. The parallel Sil de Perlas route runs through the same system with its own, harder rope work.
