Description

Cantabria, in northern Spain, is a great destination for canyoning. If you want to live an unforgettable adventure with your family and friends, then join me for this day outing!

Cantabria is part of Green Spain, the region between the Bay of Biscay and the Cantabrian Mountains. It is a mountainous area with beautiful gorges, waterfalls and a lush vegetation.

There are different locations where we can practice canyoning. We will choose the right spot according to your wishes and the weather conditions. These are some of the most popular places:

Barranco Aján (Vega de Pas)
Barranco Navedo (Potes)
Chorretones Ravine (Ramales de la Victoria)
Sintxita Ravine (Vizcaya)
Barranco la Leze (Alava)

We will abseil down wet slabs of rock, jump into amazing natural pools, and slide down natural rocky toboggans. Fun is guaranteed!

It is not necessary to have any previous knowledge in climbing or canyoning for this excursion. You just need to know how to swim and to love outdoor adventures. After teaching you some basic skills and we will be ready for canyoning. Children over age of 10 are welcome!

So, if you are up for a stunning canyoning day trip in Cantabria, please get in touch with me. I’ll be glad to guide you through these breathtaking gorges!

I also offer an Intro to rock climbing in the Cantabrian Mountains: check it out!

Mountain Leader

AEGM-UIMLA Guide from Spain

I did my first steps as a mountaineer as a teenager in Madrid. But the desire to enjoy all the possibilities given by the mountains convinced me to move to Benasque valley, at the heart of the Pyrenees.

Along the years I did several winter and summer activities not only in the Pyrenees, but also in Picos de Europa, Sierra Nevada, Sistema Central...

One of my passions is to travel and discover new places and cultures, so I did climbing trips to other European countries, USA, Canada, Morocco, India, Nepal, Kirguistán... This trips gave me a priceless experience that made me grow as a climber, and set the stone to my formation as professional mountain guide.

I now live in Cantabria, and usually guide both in summer and winter in the Cantabrian range.

What people are saying about Picos A Vista

We had a great time climbing in Picos!!

We had a great time with the two-day route through Picos de Europa. Our guide Fran has given us a treatment that goes beyond the personal... he has taken care of us, he has taught us lots of tricks, he has made us overcome this physical and psychological challenge we were facing and he has made us fall in love with Picos when we saw it with his eyes. The experience has been so incredible that I am sure I will always remember it. Thank you so much for everything Fran!

The staff at Picos a Vista is exceptional, very knowledgeable about Picos de Europa, flexible and willing. Fran, the guide who did our activity, 100% recommendable. We will definitely come back.

Thanks to Picos A Vista and especially to our guide Fran, we enjoyed a great day of climbing in Picos! Fran has taken care of every detail to make the whole day amazing, looking forward to repeat soon!
