One of the most impressive and aesthetic canyons in Europe
.
.
..
The descent of this immense canyon, deeply sculpted in the generous limestone mantle of Guara, is a trip to a strange world of stone and water, with surprising palces. It has quite a sporty character, so there will be no lack of good abseils and jumps. All this makes it the best and most indispensable canyoning experience in Guara.

Avoid putting the material in your mouth (to hold the rope, slings or cords with the mouth, etc.).
-
Follow the canyoning guide’s instructions at all times.
-
In canyoning activities, participants must assume that during the activity there may be times when it is not possible to maintain a safe distance, increasing the risk of contagion by COVID 19, since the use of masks is contraindicated in an aquatic environment. This is the main reason why we only work with natural groups.
