Canyoning is an aquatic activity that consists of travelling the watercourse on a mountain with the different
techniques such as walking, climbing, jumping, or swimming…
Join The Barcelonian’s adventure team to learn
canyoning techniques that will properly be explained and supervised by certified professionals, and will help
you progress through the canyon.
The sport gets outdoor enthusiasts into their wetsuits and out of their comfort zones as they explore rivers, gorges and other parts of nature normally deemed inaccessible.
It all started as an exploration sport just like caving or mountaineering, and it’s only been on the adventure scene for 15 or 20 years.
Quite often we would descend using a rope down the waterfalls, sometimes we can jump, sometimes (depending on the canyon) we can even slide down!
Canyoning is a sport that everybody can enjoy, a sport where you can do as little or as much as you want and feel comfortable with. Whether you want to experience the pure adventure and adrenaline rush or just explore these beautiful and unique places, do not miss out on this once in a lifetime adventure!
Included
Material you must bring: High cane boots or sports shoes, swimwear, spare clothing, food and water.
We will make different suggestions of canyons to descend according to the level of difficulty and your preferences.
Located in Sant Privat d’en Bas (La Garrotxa) and under Salt de Sallent (a waterfall of 140m), we find the Gurn, a beautiful gorge ideal for initiation and families. The water is of green emerald color- Ideal to discover the world of canyoning.
Very informative tour...really enjoyed knowing more about the Modernist!
Review of: Via Ferrata Climbing Experience "This was very fun. The route was both fun and exciting. We had a great guide who helped us along. Higly recomended"
My tour guide was Jordana. Others were scheduled for the tour but canceled. So I was very fortunate to have a one on one experience with Jordana who ensured that the tour was personalized and met my expectations. And she did not disappoint. In particular, touring the outside of Sagrada Familia, Jord ...

There were so many interesting details and places that we would have missed had it not been for this experience.
This experience was incredibly informative and really enjoyable! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a new side of Barcelona which is shrouded in incredible architecture. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable about the modern district of Barcelona and her passion was infectious. Thanks for having me :)
This was a fantastic tour that I highly recommend. I learnt a lot about the modernist buildings in Barcelona and got to see some fantastic architecture. I am a full time wheelchair user and the pace of the tour was great, and I felt like I could stop and rest if I needed to. I used a power attachmen ...

I had booked several different things to do while in Barcelona and loved each one. I started out with the Secrets of Barcelona tour. Jordana was my guide and I was lucky enough to be the only one that time and day so I had a private tour. She was very knowledgable about all the places we saw and I d ...
My friend and I were in Barcelona for a weekend only and wanted to capsulate a tour of the main sites.

Our tour guide asked us what we were particularly inte ...
Our guided tour of the Secrets of Barcelona was absolutely amazing! We learnt about the history of the old town and uncovered secrets that I couldn't even think about. The guides were knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions. A great value for money! I would highly recommend anyone who vi ...
The tour was fun and educational. It provided a different perspective of the city while enjoying beautiful views. The hike was not too difficult/challenging. Great value for money!! I highly recommend this Collserola Hiking Tour with the Barcelonian. Very professional as well.
Today our guide Jordana walked us through the Old city of Barcelona and made us discover facts and secrets we would never even think about. Ive been on other tours before, but never have I witnessed so many quirky and interesting hidden secrets in such a short amount of time. I especially liked the ...
"Great activity and very organized. Beautiful views and a challenging and insipirng climb. Very safe and instructor Albert was very pleasant and patient. A different experience that was well worth doing"

Our guide was such a resource of information and we got see the city from a whole different perspective! I highly recom ...
We had limited time for our staying and these guys helped us “feeling” Barcelona! So a big thank you for allowing us to experience the authenticity of the city. Additionally I would say that the tour (born tour) was super well organised and not expensive.
I had a really great time doing the Collserola hiking tour with The Barcelonian. It shows that they go out of their way to give you a different experience from the rest of the tours in Barcelona. I have enjoyed the hike as well as beautiful views of the city from the route , ending the tour with a s ...

Who?
Canyoning is considered for everyone, it won’t disappoint neither the experienced nor the eager beginner ready to try on a new challenge.
What?
Canyoning is a sport that, for some years, is taking a considerable boost in our country. It is about lowering the sports sections of the rivers and allowing the recreation, which provides the water, with the exceptional landscapes that the mountains offer.
Where?
The “La Garrotxa” region of Catalonia lies between the Pyrenees mountains & the beautiful Costa Brava coastal region in Spain. La Garrotxa is best known for its well-preserved medieval villages, good food, outdoor activity opportunities, Romanesque churches, and volcanic parks.
At The Barcelonian we believe in sustainable tourism and authenticity, and we accomplish this with small groups. Our Canyoning Experience is never larger than 10 people per group and we only provide this unique tour between the months of April and October – only on Saturdays at 10:00 am.
Why?
At the end of the day, canyoning exists for one reason and one reason only; it’s insanely fun! It’s a great adventure sport, a fantastic way to get out into the countryside and explore the rivers and gorges, to get waist-deep in the water of new countries on your travels and to see waterfalls and slides- the likes of which you never even knew existed!
