Máxima Aventura, based in Montanejos, takes people to two via ferratas in Villahermosa del Río, in the same Alto Mijares, one on each side of the Carbo river canyon. They can be done separately or together in one day with Máxima Aventura.
La Muela and La Mina
La Muela is a K3, of medium difficulty, 140 metres high with several vertical and horizontal moves. It takes an hour on the route, plus an approach of about 30 minutes from the car park and another half hour of equipment and briefing. The final exit passes beside a small waterfall, with views over the Carbo and Villahermosa canyons.
La Mina is opposite and lasts about 45 minutes, plus the half hour of preparation. Halfway round you enter, with your helmet torch, an old copper mine, La Amorosa; then you cross a 20-metre Tibetan-style suspension bridge and do a pendulum. It has no abseil.
Price, age and what is included
Each costs €50 per person and the two together, about five hours, €90. The minimum group is four: if there are fewer of you, you can join an open group at no cost or pay a supplement. The minimum recommended age is 12, and it is not for pregnant women, people with vertigo or anyone with an injury or incompatible condition, which must be reported.
It includes guide, ferrata kit with harness, energy absorber and helmet, civil liability insurance, a photo report and admission to the Fuente de los Baños for the way back. Bring sports clothes, hard-soled trainers, a light rucksack, water and sun cream. The company does not state the meeting point: confirm it when you book.
Tips
- Do them together For €90 you get two very different ferratas, one on a wall and the other with a mine and a bridge.
- Torch in your rucksack The helmet has one, but check the battery before entering La Amorosa.
- Hard-soled shoes Soft trainers bend on the rungs.
