If you leave from Cain, the first 6 kilometers of the Ruta del Cares is the most spectacular. The views, nature in its full splendor will catch you.

It is accessed through the AS-114 towards Cangas de Onís-Arenas de Cabrales (Las Arenas). Once in the urban area, take the AS-264 towards Poncebos, where the route will begin.
The water supply was opened in 1915, in 1945 the path was made to give access to the channel of the hydroelectric plant that accompanies us all the way; this makes it easy to walk between these impressive mountains almost at the bottom of this rocky gap of just over 2,000 meters deep.

The Ruta del Cares is a well-traveled path that was created at the beginning of the 20th century along a steep ravine in the middle of the Picos.
From Cain de Valdeon to Poncebos the trail leads for about 10 km through the gorge.
As a result, there is a hike of about 21 km and 650m up and down.
