Canyoning · Aigüestortes National Park
The essentials
Tim Aventura runs one clear option here: a 3.5h canyoning session in Riu Blanc or Obarra, priced at 35 €. The "Everybody welcome" physical level means no prior experience required, making this the right entry point for first-timers in the Catalan Pyrenees. You'll descend through canyon passages carved into the limestone of the Aigüestortes massif, guided in Spanish or English. Book directly with Tim Aventura and confirm which canyon runs on your date.
The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the descent?
Canyon descents in the Catalan Pyrenees typically involve rappelling down waterfalls and jumping into natural pools. The exact heights depend on the canyon chosen on the day, Riu Blanc or Obarra, so ask Tim Aventura when you book which one delivers the bigger drops.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
The physical level is listed as "Everybody welcome," which means the jumps and rappels are accessible even if you're not a seasoned climber. That said, canyon walls can tower overhead and water is fast-moving, so a basic comfort with water is useful.
When is canyoning season in Aigüestortes National Park?
The season runs from May through September. Water levels are highest in late spring due to snowmelt from the Pyrenees, which increases the intensity of the descent. July and August offer warmer conditions but book early as spots fill fast.
Is the 35 € price per person, and what does it include?
Yes, 35 € is the per-person price. Confirm directly with Tim Aventura what equipment (wetsuit, helmet, harness) is included, as rental gear is standard for guided canyon sessions at this price point.

Equipment
Wear a swimsuit under whatever clothes you bring, as Tim Aventura typically provides wetsuit, helmet and harness for guided sessions at this price. The 3.5h duration in cold Pyrenean water means neoprene coverage matters, so check at booking whether booties are also supplied.
