Cueva de Valporquero (Sil de Perlas)
verified
Ungraded
Unknown flood risk
Felmin, Leon
Sil de Perlas is the harder sibling route through the same Valporquero cave system, its standout a 53m rappel split into three stages through the Gran Campana chamber.
Expect cave rigging, fixed cord and chain anchors, as much as canyon rappelling; this runs alongside the standard Curso Agua route through the same system rather than as a separate approach.
