El Camino Del Ray – Don’t Look Down!!!


In 1901 a walkway was built to join the Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls. It was completed in 1905.
The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is now in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state.
It is one metre in width, over a 700 metre fall, and over time it has lost it’s handrail.
Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed, and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall.
Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years.
After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances.
However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.
