Path of the Postman

A historic path carved into the rock that defies gravity over the Beyos Gorge.

A Vertigo Route

The Senda del Cartero (PR-AS 282) is one of the most spectacular routes with the most history in the Ponga Natural Park. In the past, it was the route that the postman used to carry mail to towns perched on the mountains, such as Casielles.

The Path

The route begins near the Vidosa Bridge, in the impressive Desfiladero de los Beyos. It is a cobbled path, literally carved into the vertical limestone wall. Although the slope is steep and short, the views over the Sella River and the gorge are breathtaking.

Precautions

It is not a route suitable for people with vertigo due to its exposure to vacuum in some sections. However, for mountain lovers, it is a unique experience that combines adrenaline with the wild beauty of Ponga.
