Wild and beautiful high mountain descent, to which the strong flow and complexity of some sections give great character
.
....
.
Aguas Limpias canyon, located between the highest mountains of Western Pyrenees, is a mountain descent, long, technical, aquatic and with steps of certain commitment. The flow is almost always quite high, there are several sections with forced jumps and delicate disclimbs through the water, and the riverbed is usually interrupted by several big chaos of trunks. An intense experience for lovers of mountain descents and adventure terrain.
