    The tunnel Encumeada is about 800 meters long and in some places quite narrow and low. You should have a flashlight, I think the cell phone flashlight is not enough.

      The tour is only possible when it is dry, we had to stop after 6 km because we could not make the third river crossing. The path in the valley is difficult to see. Very demanding tour.

        Benches at the entrance offer a resting place, which is populated by intrusive poultry. Here you can wait for oncoming traffic, as it is hardly possible to evade in the tunnel.
