Highlights
Outing Highlights
A tight, stone‑walled passage with clear spring pools
The route threads a narrow channel of rock whose walls frame emerald pools fed by natural springs; the short scale of the canyon makes its geology and water features unusually intimate and readable.
Short, intense and family‑friendly
A compact aquatic canyon, the Estret de les Penyes offers an intense but brief itinerary with safe jumping spots and bathing pools suitable for families and beginners when accompanied by guides.
A final rappel and a rewarding waterfall
After moving through pools and jumps, the descent culminates at a waterfall where a final rappel — reported at 20 metres — provides a dramatic finish for those ready to commit.
