Frequently asked questions

How intense is the Estret del Castellar canyon?
The tour is rated "Occasionally sporty", so it mixes calm passages with bursts of effort, jumps into pools and rope descents. It's demanding enough to get your heart rate up, but accessible to first-timers with no prior canyoning experience.
What is the most intense moment of the session?
Rope rappels down waterfall drops are typically the peak-adrenaline section of any canyon. The instructor will brief you on technique before each descent, so you hit it fully ready.
Do I need to be comfortable with heights?
A degree of comfort with exposure helps, since rappels place you on vertical rock above water. The "Occasionally sporty" rating signals manageable drops rather than extreme free-falls, making this a solid first step if heights make you nervous.
When does the season run and how far in advance should I book?
Sessions run from May through September. Peak weekends in July and August fill fast, so booking at least one week ahead is advisable to secure your spot.
