Advanced Canyoning (Level 4)
Canyoning: Description.
Descents which are highly physically and / or technically demanding and as such should be taken on with the strictest respect.
Up to 12 hours in length or with abseils up to 50 meters high with narrow, often exposed belays. Level 4 canyons are on the whole rarely frequented since they are considered suitable for experts only.
Canyoning: Requeriments.
- A good level of fitness and an ability to swim correctly.
- It is important that participants regularly go trekking or participate in other activities in the mountains to ensure that participants are accustomed to walking on rough, stony terrain.
- It is essential to have adequate experience canyoning and to be familiar with abseiling and safety techniques.
- Participants are obliged to do an easier canyon descent before undertaking a level 4 descent so that the guide can evaluate the aptitude of the group.
Canyoning. Location.
As canyoning has become the most popular adventure sports activity in Aragon we have widened our area to include canyons in Guara and the Pyrenees.
CANYONS IN GUARA:Gorgas Negras - one of the most mythical descents in the region, known for its great length and extraordinary beauty.
Portiacha - a dry canyon with the attraction of long abseils, this descent can be combined with other local canyons.
Other examples: Otín, Chimiachas…
CANYONS IN THE PYRENEES:
Lapazosa, in Bujaruelo, on the edge the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, offers an alpine atmosphere with technical jumps, some fun slides and big drops with waterfalls of up to 60 meters.
Other examples: Sorrosal, Foz de la Canal, Consusa Inferior…
