Description

If you’re looking for an exciting half-day, full of fun plus time to relax, then this is the trip for you. Here’s your chance to go canyoning in the Pyrenees and then unwind in some hot spring baths!

Under 3 hours drive from Barcelona in Spain or Toulouse in France, Thuès-Entre-Valls is a French settlement in the picturesque Cerdanya region of the Pyrenees.

It is only about 35 mingutes from Puigcerdà, the region’s largest urban area. The landscape of the region is comprised of canyons, mountains, lakes, waterfalls and the list goes on!

With a fascinating history, the Cerdanya region was eventually split between France and Spain in 1659, with the countries sharing the territory’s land area almost exactly in half.

This beautiful region is sparsely populated with 24 residents every km2, meaning we basically have this gorgeous terrain to ourselves and can really feel the call of the wild!

With over 3,000 hours of annual sunshine, Cerdanya is almost aways basking in a bright radiance that only adds to the beauty.

Our time out canyoning will last about 3-4 hours, providing enough time for you hike through stunning ravines, abseil through a waterfall, and finally soak in the heat of the natural thermal baths!

Don’t forget to bring your ankle boots/trainers, swimsuit, spare clothes/shoes, food and water. We will provide all the rest to ensure you’ll be smiling for days afterwards!

If you’re excited to explore the canyons of the French Pyrenees, climb through waterfalls and chill in natural hot springs, then sign up now because this an opportunity not to be missed!

Trekking Guide

I'm a certified Mid-Mountain and Canyoning guide and a certified UIMLA Leader. I'm also a member of the High Mountain Catalan School (ECAM).

I have been working as a Mid-Mountain and Canyoning guide since 2008. My love for the mountains began at a very young age, as I grew up in the Pyrenees.

This passion eventually took me all around the world, including the Himalayas, the Andes, the Alps and Morocco where I travelled to practice mountaineering, rock climbing, canyoning, ski mountaineering, ice climbing, and mountain biking.

As a guide, my aim is to instill my passion for the mountains in you and that you experience it in the same way that I do: intensely and with minimal risk. Mountains are more than a job or an entertainment; they are a philosophy and a way of learning about life.

Everything was well-planned. The guide Raquel explained what we needed to do and made sure that everyone understood. The guide provided wetsuits, safety gear, and helmets. We had options to climb and jump, or opt on any climb or jump we didn’t feel comfortable doing. I traveled with my 21 year old daughter, 58 year old husband and self (age 60). This was our first canyoning trip. Beginner level, was perfect for us, and we did well. We loved it and I’m so glad we discovered this amazing sport! We did every jump and climb! Thank you Raquel for your guidance! Also your recommendations for other hiking and touring in the area! We did visit Rupit, Besalu, and São Paulo! I would definitely recommend this to those that are in reasonable good fitness and love the water and jumping into water!
