Carança, Natural creek in Conflent, France

The Carança creek cuts through steep cliffs and rocky walls, creating a 15.3-kilometer watercourse in the Pyrénées-Orientales region.

The construction of suspended bridges and metal walkways along the Carança gorges in the early 20th century enabled visitors to explore this natural formation.

The Carança area maintains its designation as a protected natural site, preserving the local flora and fauna for scientific research and environmental conservation.

The hiking trail includes metal walkways, suspension bridges, and ladders fixed to cliff faces, requiring good physical condition and steady nerves.

Visitors traverse the gorge on narrow metal pathways attached to vertical rock faces, suspended 30 meters above the flowing creek below.
