Description

Oscuros de Balces is a river canyon in Sierra de Guara, Spain. This hidden spot is an amazing destination for canyoning. Join me for an unforgettable water adventure!

Sierra de Guara is a mountain massif lying 25 km northeast of the city of Huesca, Aragon. A number of rivers flow through the area cutting the range with stunning gorges. Oscuros de Balces is one of the secret gems of the region, offering stunning jumps, drops and turquoise water pools.

This canyoning trip starts at the bottom of the Rio Isuala valley, bordered by high cliffs. After crossing a chaos (pile of large fallen rocks) and an 8-meter rappel, we will follow some small downclimbing passages, slides, and optional underwater passages. The highlight is a unique narrow descent to an open wide pool.

The obstacles are relatively easy, which makes this outing perfect for family groups and children. However, you all have to be physically prepared as we will have to complete a 1-hour hike to reach the canyon. 

So, if you are up for this canyoning adventure in Oscuros de Balces, please contact us. We can spend one or several days in this gorgeous area of Sierra de Guara!

I can also take you to other fabulous spots in Sierra de Guara. Check out my Vero River and my Peonera Canyon trips!

Mountain Leader

I've been having a strong passion for outdoor sports for over 15 years. In the last 5 years, I've been working as a professional guide specialized in climbing and canyoning. My favourite is rock climbing, it doesn't matter the style (sport, trad, dws, bouldes, single or multipitch routes) the importat thing is climb high. As a native Mallorcan, Psicobloc or Deep Water Soloing, is in his genes. While he has a deep appreciation for the crags of Mallorca, Catalonia and Aragon, he has also climbed in Morocco, Turkey, Italy, France, Slovenia, Croatia, Tajikistan and China.

Absolutely loved my climbing trip guided by Carlos Vidal. He is legend, real professional, very knowledgeable, super focused, and I felt super safe on the walls. Everything was excellent. I had great adventure and fun. He always made sure he explained every step and everything I need to know very carefully and that we have good communication. It was my first ever trip outdoor climbing and I have levelled up my skills so quickly. I would recommend Carlos to anyone, and definitely I will be back to climb with him in future :)

Carlos was an excellent guide for the Cala Moli Via Ferrata. He did a great job ensuring we were safe, while allowing the space to explore and enjoy the route. He is extremely knowledgeable about climbing, and knew when to step in a lend a hand (or knee). The route itself is stunning, and I can't recommend it enough to others. Additionally, going in a private group with Carlos was well worth the slightly higher costs than the tours with 10+ people because it allowed for dedicated help, and not to mention - he took some wonderful photos for us. I can't wait to return, so we can do another climbing adventure with Carlos.

We thought we had arranged a trip with a guide but we got Carlos who was amazing. He greatly focused on safety and managed to challenge and grow all (to adults and 2 children at 14 and 11) at the same time and in a way which made the day truly awesome

Had a great day climbing with Carlos. He's knowledgeable about, and devoted to, the sport. I only had a single day during my trip to Spain to climb and was looking to get on some of the best sport routes in the area - and Carlos did not disappoint. As a guide he was skilled and safe, ensuring that we had a shared understanding of the safety systems. As a climbing partner he was insightful in recommending routes, providing beta, and the softest of catches. We chatted the whole time about the sport and the industry and the various features of routes. Highly recommend Carlos as a climbing guide if you're in the Barcelona area and I will definitely look him up again next time I'm in Spain without a belay.

Carlos is an excellent guide. He taught and helped us move up in skill. Carlos suggested multiple crags and what he thought would be appropriate and fun for us. Explore share was an easy company schedule our adventure. The website itself was a bit difficult to manage at the final point of booking . Otherwise I would given 5s all around. Thanks for a great event.
