Canyoning - Sierra de Guara, Alquezar- Vertientes

Canyoning involves the progression through the course of a gorge (river at gunpoint between large natural walls) saving their slopes using mixed techniques of caving and mountaineering. On the inside requires walking through gravel, rock- climbing, sliding down chutes, jump in deep pools or pass through opposite narrow gorges. You can find a considerable difference in height so it's needed to use the rappelling technique or fall when the river water does not present any point of requirement to install strings and therefore rapelling is not needed. All these river's obstacles are generally not extremely complicated and that's what makes it ideal level of decline for those who are new in this kind of sport or those looking for nice feelings and controlled emotions.
