Have
you ever abseiled down a waterfall into a dark cavern with water pouring
over you the whole time ? Or jumped 20 feet down into a deep pool only
6 feet square with vertical rock walls on either side ? This is all part
of the exhilarating and sometimes scary experience that is canyoning. |
 |
Canyoning
is basically climbing a mountain then navigating down a stream bed in
a ravine. With Henorita, you can experience this exhilarating sport only
3 hours from Barcelona, and we organise all transport needs and the activity
for you.
|
 |
Once
you arrive at the activity centre with your Henorita guide, you will be
kitted out with full waterproof and safety equipment - wetsuit salopettes
and jacket, neoprene socks, abseiling harness and safety helmet. After
putting on your shoes or trainers, your transport will take you 20 minutes
down the valley to the start of the canyon. After a safety briefing, you
jump in and across the river, then climb for 30 minutes up the mountain
to the top of the ravine. This is when the fun starts !

 |
You
will start splashing your way down the ravine, but as is the "stepped"
nature of streams, this won't last long. Some drops you will have to jump,
and others slide down into the water pool below. But there are sections
when only abseiling down will do, especially down the 40 foot waterfall
which drops you into the "Devil's Cavern". After 2 hours of
sliding, jumping and abseiling, you will arrive back at the river and
just float down to the original starting point.

Because
the location is a 4 hour drive from Barcelona, it's worth making the most
of your stay by combining this activity with white water rafting. Please
look at our White Water Rafting
package page for various options to make the most of your time in the beautiful
Spanish Pyrenees. |
