The route to the tunnel begins at the ruins of the Yera station, near Vega de Pas. Along the way, you can see waterfalls, Pasiegan huts and remains of old barracks used by the Republican prisoners who worked on the construction of the tunnel. It is a route of approximately 18 km, well signposted and suitable for hikers of all levels.

One of the several tunnels of the ambitious Santander-Mediterranean railway project that planned to unite the seas crossing the entire country and that was never finished but that at least today is being reconditioned to be able to enjoy its journey through wonderful places and landscapes.
The Engaña tunnel is perhaps one of the most representative and recognized, with almost 17 km in length it is a clear example of the ambition of this project that was finally abandoned and in 1999 it was closed to the public as there were landslides just over 3km from its start and it is very dangerous.
