All of the necessary safety equipment will have you feeling safe and warm and the professional crew will make sure you finish the activity enjoyably and safely.

Afterwards, you will head towards the Aiguastortes National Park. This is the most important park in the Pyrenees and is considered as one of Europe´s most beautiful.

In the afternoon hours you will start heading back towards Spain and the province of Aragon, an autonomous community with an enormous geographical variety – glaciers, valleys, green pastures, orchids, and even barren planes. The Aragonese Pyrenees are home to incredible views, including tall peaks, deep canyons, forests, and waterfalls.

The area is also known for its wild bears, though they are extremely rare and are hardly ever seen.

In the morning you will visit the beautiful and narrow Añisclo Canyon, and if time permits you could hike around the circular route of Saint Urbez, where you will walk between the gorge´s walls, along flowing waters, crystal clear pools, and lush vegetation.
