Sierra de Guara Natural Park
Welcome to the temple of canyoning and climbing
Between Zaragoza and the French Pyrenees, discover the Sierra de Guara Natural Park, listed since 1990. In this rugged territory, the rocks have fractured over time to form nearly 70 canyons with undisputed Mediterranean charm. The 47,000 ha of the Park are nowadays the ideal place in Spain to practice many nature activities: canyoning of course, but also climbing, via ferrata and beautiful hikes on foot or by mountain bike. The Natural Park of the Sierra de Guara is a historical site, with its mythical villages such as Alquezar and its many caves with paintings dating back to prehistoric times. It is also classified as a special protection area for birds, a sign of its great richness in fauna and flora.
The joys of family canyoning
The Sierra de Guara Natural Park and more particularly the Rio Vero have been pioneers in the practice of canyoning for decades. It is easy to understand why... Nearly 70 canyons make up the exceptional natural setting that is available to us.

Discover the joys of canyoning with many routes for all levels. You go down the river with a professional guide. On the program: jumps (no panic, up to 5m maximum), slides and de-escalation. This aquatic activity is accessible to everyone from 7 years old. Only condition, you just have to know how to swim! Enjoy a unique family moment with a canyoning trip in a magical environment, in the heart of Aragon.
The caves and canyon of Rio Vero
The Rio Vero canyon is a real prehistoric open-air museum. This forged historical site hosts nearly 60 caves gathered in the Vero Cultural Park, classified since 1998 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the title of "Rupestrian Art of the Mediterranean Basin of the Iberian Peninsula". In the caves and shelters, discover in complete freedom the cave paintings, parietal paintings and Paleolithic engravings preserved for thousands of years. The most beautiful caves of Rio Vero, such as the Fuente del Trucho and its 100 paintings, are protected. You can admire its faithful reproduction at the rock art interpretation centre in Colungo, a few kilometres from Alquézar.
