Cañón de las Buitreras, Limestone canyon in Cortes de la Frontera, Spain
The Cañón de las Buitreras extends through limestone formations, featuring steep walls and multiple waterfalls along its course in Málaga Province.
Geological processes over millions of years have shaped this canyon in the Serranía de Ronda region, creating deep gorges through continuous water erosion.
The canyon takes its name from the griffon vultures that nest in its cliffs, alongside other bird species including Bonelli's eagles and stock doves.
Visitors can access the canyon through guided canyoning tours that provide necessary equipment and expert instruction for safe exploration of the waterway.
The canyon combines vertical drops, natural pools, and narrow passages, creating opportunities for climbing, swimming, and rappelling through its limestone corridors.
