    The walls of the gorge rise up to 400 meters in height

      The duration of the entire route of the Caminito del Rey route (the section from the gate of one walkway to the other, plus the paths or forest tracks to get to/leave the area) is between 3 and 4 hours.

        While most of the way you can see at least an exit from the gorge, in this short valley section it feels like you are completely surrounded by a massive rock face. You can also see the remains of the old and partially dilapidated path.
