About this activity

Experience the adrenaline-pumping Via Ferrata 'Boca del Infierno' (Mouth of Hell), a dramatic blend of rock climbing and mountain hiking set on sheer limestone walls overlooking a pristine Spanish lake. This guided adventure combines vertical ascents, horizontal ridge traversals, suspended bridges, and a thrilling zipline descent—all just a short distance from Madrid with transport included.

Discover the new Via Ferrata "Boca del Infierno" very close to Madrid with the Olé Outdoor Guides. Transport Included.

A via ferrata is a thrilling mountain activity based on a mixture of alpine hiking and rock climbing principles. The via ferrata routes are just as vertical as they are horizontal, usually situated on a rocky wall that is equipped with a range of gear including: stairs, metal rungs, handrails, chains, hanging bridges and ziplines that help you move along the route. The safety system of a via ferrata is primarily based on a network of steel cables installed on the rock walls. Participants secure themselves with an energy absorbing device and special carabiners to prevent falls as they move through the route.

The Via Ferrata Boca del Infierno begins as a vertical climb, then later traverses horizontally along the limestone ridges and walls above the lake of Sacedón, and ends by crossing two exciting hanging bridges and a long vertiginous zipline. The route takes place high up on the rock walls and is a very exciting vertical adventure.

  • The route is more technical than standard hiking but less demanding than sport climbing—ideal if you have some fitness but limited climbing experience
  • Morning departures offer better light for photography and cooler temperatures on the exposed rock sections
  • The zipline finale is the highlight; lean back and enjoy the view during the descent rather than trying to slow yourself
  • Arrive 15 minutes early for thorough harness and carabiner instruction—this time is critical for safety and confidence
