The Sierra and Canyons of Guara Natural Park, declared as such in 1991, is a natural jewel in the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees. Its combination of spectacular geological formations, unique biodiversity and an unrivalled offer of outdoor activities make it a must-see destination for lovers of nature and adventure sports. At Avalancha, we are specialists in canyoning in the Sierra de Guara, as well as hiking and other water activities, offering unforgettable experiences in this privileged environment.
A unique natural space
The Sierra de Guara is a territory shaped by water over millions of years, creating impressive canyons and gorges of limestone rock that have made this area the cradle of canyoning in Europe. In addition to its geological formations, the park is home to a rich biodiversity with emblematic species such as the bearded vulture, the golden eagle and a wide variety of birds of prey. Its forests of holm oaks, pines and gall oaks, together with rivers with crystal clear waters, create an ecosystem of great ecological and scenic value.
