COMBO Rafting + Canyoning: Two days of adventure in the Aragonese Pyrenees

Day 1 — Rafting on the River Gállego

The first day starts in Murillo de Gállego, where the River Gállego runs enclosed between the vertical conglomerate formations of the Mallos de Riglos. The RocRoi team hands out the technical equipment and your guide runs a full briefing before you board the raft: paddling technique, body position and safety protocols. Once on the water, the Gállego takes the group through rapids with names of their own: the Embudo and the S hold the highest intensity of the section and turn the raft into a real team. Between rapids, the guide opens windows onto the surroundings: the geology of the gorge, the riverside wildlife, the history of the Kingdom of the Mallos. Two hours of effective rafting with griffon vultures soaring overhead.

Day 2 — Canyoning in Formiga canyon, Sierra de Guara

The second day swaps the water flowing beneath the raft for water falling between conglomerate limestone walls. Formiga canyon, in the heart of Sierra de Guara, is the most complete beginner descent in the Aragonese Pre-Pyrenees: training abseils, optional jumps of up to 6–8 metres, water-polished natural slides and swimming sections in turquoise pools, all linked together over four hours. The activity starts from the Panzano car park. The climax is the longest abseil, up to 25 metres, dropping into a deep pool. The exit from the gorge — under the vault of the Cueva de las Polvorosas — closes a descent where the group chains together, in a single outing, everything canyoning has to offer.

Note: For organisational reasons, the order of activities may vary. The team will let you know in advance.
