Join this weekend in Sierra de Guara (Huesca) for Canyoning!

The plan is to leave early on Saturday, do a Canyon on that day and stay in a refuge the night of Saturday. On Sunday depending on what you want some could do another Canyon, hike or relax in the village of Alquezar.

We will hire all the technical gear and a guide there, cost around 45€ each Canyon.
For the Canyons we will need:

  • Swimsuit
  • Towel
  • Trainers (that you do not mind getting wet)

You can check the refuge and its services here: (in Spanish and French)

Escuela-Refugio La Era

Refuge costs 15,50€ and 20€ with breakfast.

We are going by car.

Cars

  • Jaime: 5 places
  • Anchel: 5 places
  • François: 4 places leaving on Friday with Darcy, Christian and guest.
  • Kim (motorbike): 2 places

16 is the maximum number of people. Canyoning is limited to groups of 8 people, so we would make two groups.

Petrol costs aprox. 60 EUR. The car driver is responsible for requesting the costs of his/her passengers.

On Saturday night, we normally go out to a restaurant as a group and menu prices generally range from 20-30EUR/person. Afterwards, those who have the energy tend to go and have some drinks at a local bar. This has normally been the trend on the weekend hikes, so you should be prepared to bring with you the right amount of cash to pay for everything if you plan to take part in these activities.

We'll meet at Palau Reial (Av. Diagonal / Tinent Coronel Valenzuela). You can see the location here.

BEGINNERS ARE ALLOWED: Better if you are reasonably fit but for sure you should know how to swim!!! smile

We will not wait at the meeting point longer than 15 minutes. The schedule is very important this time.

If the event is full and you'd like to join it, join the Waiting List, including a comment telling that you wish to come and if you have a car for how many people. I will change your RSVP to Yes in case there is any free room.

    Hi... I have a 2-man tent. Do you need me to bring it with me on Saturday?

    In a few days, if we have a stable group, I might consider and propose other accomodation options such as bungalows. But I would like to know the size of the group first. Any suggestions? Ideas? Comments?

    Diane: Hopefully it won't be necessary to rent a tent. We will wait! Christian: You don't have to unless you want to go climbing too! We will rent everything (but you can use your helmet if you prefer)
