Canyoning · Sierra de Guara
How to choose
There are 12 tours across Sierra de Guara, from 48 € to 480 €, covering half-day slots up to 3-day expeditions. Budget pick: Aguas Blancas at 48 € for a full-day intro. The 58–65 € range covers most standard descents on the Vero river and Barranco del Formiga, running 4.5h to full day, with “Everybody welcome” or “Occasionally sporty” levels. For maximum exposure, Expediciones offers a 3-day canyon package at 185 € or a canyoning, via ferrata and abseiling trip at 179 €. Only one tour (Avalancha at 65 €) lists an “Everybody welcome” physical level, the clearest entry point for first-timers. The decisive filter: pick by duration first (half-day vs. full-day vs. multi-day), then match physical level. If this is your first descent in the Sierra y Cañones de Guara Natural Park, start at 58–65 € and lock in the Vero canyon.
