Description

Situated in the southernmost reaches of the Catalan Pyrenees, Barranc de Boixols is the perfect spot for a half-day canyoning adventure!

Starting from the idyllic village of Boixols, we will head to the trailhead and make a short, but scenic approach through forests and meadows to the mouth of the canyon.

Once at the edge of the Barranc de Boixols, we will put on our gear and begin rappelling, jumping (this is optional), sliding and water trekking through the canyon.

All of the necessary skills and techniques to successfully rappel can be taught at the start of the trip, making this the perfect activity for participants of all levels.

As we climb, jump and swim through the canyon, we can also talk about the ecology of the area and learn a little bit about this stunning part of Catalonia.

When our four hours is nearing an end, we will make a 30 minute ascent out of the canyon and back to the trailhead, where we will change into dry clothes and return to Boixols.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
