Description

Join me on an adventurous rafting trip along the river Ara in the Aragonian Pyrenees. Enjoy some of the best rafting in the north-eastern Spanish city of Huesca.

We’ll follow the Pyrenees river that swings and bends around the national park in the Torla-Ordesa region. It runs through a spectacular landscape between the villages of Torla and Broto.

The wild river of Ara is the last virgin river of the Pyrenees, so expect a rush of adrenaline as we descend the wild waters. And as a professional AEGM guide, I will assist you to make the trip both totally safe and exciting.

There is the opportunity to select different itineraries for both the Ésera river and the Ara river in the Torla-Ordesa area.

After 2 or 3 hours navigating the choppy waters we’ll enjoy a free picnic.

The level of difficulty for this half-day rafting trip is only suitable for those over the age of 16 due to the descend. The characteristics mean that it is only doable in the spring season. This is when there is sufficient flow to be able to navigate along the waters.

Due to the nature of the activity, it is necessary for participants to know how to swim.

Reserve your place among the wild Aragonian waters in the Pyrenees and experience half a day of rafting along the river Ara.

Canyoning Guide

I was born in the Basque Country, where the mountaineering is more than a simple sport, is part of the local culture. Now, living in the Pyrenees, I enjoy leading people in the best canyons arround Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park and Sierra de Guara Natural Park. Canyoning is not my profession, it`s my passion!

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.
