Description
Cantabria, in northern Spain, is a great destination for canyoning. If you want to live an unforgettable adventure with your family and friends, then join me for this day outing!
Cantabria is part of Green Spain, the region between the Bay of Biscay and the Cantabrian Mountains. It is a mountainous area with beautiful gorges, waterfalls and a lush vegetation.
There are different locations where we can practice canyoning. We will choose the right spot according to your wishes and the weather conditions. These are some of the most popular places:
Barranco Aján (Vega de Pas)
Barranco Navedo (Potes)
Chorretones Ravine (Ramales de la Victoria)
Sintxita Ravine (Vizcaya)
Barranco la Leze (Alava)
We will abseil down wet slabs of rock, jump into amazing natural pools, and slide down natural rocky toboggans. Fun is guaranteed!
It is not necessary to have any previous knowledge in climbing or canyoning for this excursion. You just need to know how to swim and to love outdoor adventures. After teaching you some basic skills and we will be ready for canyoning. Children over age of 10 are welcome!
So, if you are up for a stunning canyoning day trip in Cantabria, please get in touch with me. I’ll be glad to guide you through these breathtaking gorges!

Picos A Vista
5.0
(10)
Mountain Leader
Picos a Vista is led by Francisco González, a professional climbing and mountain guide as well as an alpine ski instructor, born and raised in Cantabria. His home mountains, especially the Picos de Europa, were his playground in adolescence and the place where he discovered his passion for the outdoors in all its forms.
With decades of experience, Francisco has explored mountain ranges and climbing areas across Spain, the Alps, and far beyond — from Yosemite and Squamish to Greenland’s remote fjords. His background as a versatile “all-terrain” adventurer allows him to guide safely and confidently in rock, snow, and mixed terrain, always with the aim of sharing the joy of the mountains with others.
Whether leading a technical climb, a scenic trek, or a ski descent, Francisco combines deep local knowledge with a love for exploration, creating unforgettable and authentic mountain experiences.

What people are saying about Picos A Vista
Benedik
I booked a tour with Fran to Urriello summit in Picos de Europa. It was an amazing experience and Fran helped me to tick another box in my bucket list. He took best care of my security whilst I was able to enjoy climbing one of the historic routes - still impressive what people dared to do about hundred years ago. I also learned a lot about climbing history in the area and met a guy who is really passionate about what he is doing. He is a great climbing guide and on top of it a great guy to get along with. Much recommended!

Fran was an excellent guide, couldn't recommend him highly enough. He as patient and supportive to all members of our group.
We had a great time climbing in Picos!!
We had a great time with the two-day route through Picos de Europa. Our guide Fran has given us a treatment that goes beyond the personal... he has taken care of us, he has taught us lots of tricks, he has made us overcome this physical and psychological challenge we were facing and he has made us fall in love with Picos when we saw it with his eyes. The experience has been so incredible that I am sure I will always remember it. Thank you so much for everything Fran!
