Description

Oscuros de Balces is a river canyon in Sierra de Guara, Spain. This hidden spot is an amazing destination for canyoning. Join me for an unforgettable water adventure!

Sierra de Guara is a mountain massif lying 25 km northeast of the city of Huesca, Aragon. A number of rivers flow through the area cutting the range with stunning gorges. Oscuros de Balces is one of the secret gems of the region, offering stunning jumps, drops and turquoise water pools.

This canyoning trip starts at the bottom of the Rio Isuala valley, bordered by high cliffs. After crossing a chaos (pile of large fallen rocks) and an 8-meter rappel, we will follow some small downclimbing passages, slides, and optional underwater passages. The highlight is a unique narrow descent to an open wide pool.

The obstacles are relatively easy, which makes this outing perfect for family groups and children. However, you all have to be physically prepared as we will have to complete a 1-hour hike to reach the canyon. 

So, if you are up for this canyoning adventure in Oscuros de Balces, please contact us. We can spend one or several days in this gorgeous area of Sierra de Guara!

I can also take you to other fabulous spots in Sierra de Guara. Check out my Vero River and my Peonera Canyon trips!

I've been having a strong passion for outdoor sports for over 15 years. In the last 5 years, I've been working as a professional guide specialized in climbing and canyoning. My favourite is rock climbing, it doesn't matter the style (sport, trad, dws, bouldes, single or multipitch routes) the importat thing is climb high. As a native Mallorcan, Psicobloc or Deep Water Soloing, is in his genes. While he has a deep appreciation for the crags of Mallorca, Catalonia and Aragon, he has also climbed in Morocco, Turkey, Italy, France, Slovenia, Croatia, Tajikistan and China.

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!

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.
