Top Cuenca Hiking & Camping

This was my second Via Ferrata (first in Banff) and it was a truly amazing experience. My guide Dani was friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. I hadn't realized that I would be the only guest on the outing and enjoyed the individualized instruction and pacing. The vertical climb was challenging and included a zip line and two suspension bridges, but I always felt completely safe. The setting was stunning with the river, waterfalls and vulture sightings. The drive to Cuenca was about two hours each way from Madrid but Dani was fun to talk to and gave the local perspective on a wide range of topics. He also took a ton of photos as I did the hike, so I'll always have memories (and bragging rights lol) of this accomplishment.

Context - I have done some mountain hiking but never done rock climbing. I thought this was the perfect experience to get started! It was a mix of climbing, crossing foot bridges, zip-lining along the beautiful Lake Entrpeñas. The views were awesome, and the combination of thrill and safety was just right. My guide was Dani, super knowledgeable and easy going, more importantly he made me feel safe. I highly recommend this via ferrata experience with Dreampeaks.

We had a great time on the via Ferrata. It was our second time and an amazing way to experience nature, challenge boundaries and get some exercise. We also went ballooning over Segovia. It was a beautiful way to spend a morning and see an amazing place. Hugo was our guide on these activities. He picked us up and took care of all of the practical aspects of our activity, translating and lending a hand willingly all the while. He made sure our trip went smoothly. Positive, knowledgeable, Hugo is great!

We had an excellent tour with Daniel taking me and my two teenage boys on the Cuenca via ferrata. The views are beautiful along the River canyon and the climb is very challenging while still being doable. I’m not sure I would recommend this if you have a fear of heights but it is a wonderful activity for teenagers to give them a break from sightseeing.Eat a large breakfast and bring water, we completed the ferrata by 12:30 so we waited until we were back in Madrid for lunch—it is a shorter drive back with no traffic. Climbing shoes and gloves were provided. This is an activity we would definitely do again—very fun and exciting.
