Infos & BookingDescription
I propose you to go in the Canigou massif, in the heart of the Eastern Pyrenee, to go through the magnificent canyon of the gorges of Taurinya, a wild and secluded adventure canyon in the mountains.
It is an intense and sustained adventure that awaits you during this day. This course is for a sporting public, in good physical condition and having already practiced the canyoning activity.
Carved by the Llitera river, this canyon is long and original. It combines aquatic and playful aspects (swimming, jumps, slides, etc.) with technical aspects (abseils, handrails, etc.), all in exceptional landscapes.
After the approach walk, this beautiful and long descent is a succession of large natural slides and abseiling. The first part allows you to jump from 4 to 8 meters (not mandatory), slides from 6 to 10 meters long, but also to walk and swim. After a well-deserved picnic break, the canyon continues with new jumps and slides, as well as abseiling down waterfalls, including one of 45 meters!
This canyon is practicable from June to September, propose me your dates!
For more comfort and conviviality, the outing is done in small groups of 8 persons maximum.

- some canyoning in the Galamus canyon,
