Full description
It's not the height that counts, but being up to it. And if you thought your last challenge was to assemble the wardrobe yourself, get ready for something far more vertical...
In the canyon of Gutturu Xeu you will move over rock faces like a tightrope walker, then rope down like a secret agent. The beauty? You don't need to have been a mountaineer in a previous life: a canyoning guide will always be at your side.
And if you feel like daring, go for the more technical variant of the route with three consecutive abseils, perfect for training your head (as well as your muscles) and making friends with the rope!
What we will do
The meeting point is 10 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Iglesias (SU).
We will be welcomed by our canyoning guide, who will provide us with all the necessarytechnical equipment: harness, helmet, via ferrata set and ropes. After an introductory briefing to familiarise ourselves with the equipment and basic manoeuvres, we will begin theapproach on foot, along a simple path that will take us straight into the heart of the Gutturu Xeu canyon.
Once attached to the wall, we will tackle the classic via ferrata section, a balanced mix of rock passages and short vertical sections, always in safety and with the guide at our side. We will then reach the highlight of the experience: a 35-metre abseil (optional but highly recommended)!
If, on the other hand, we choose to experience theentire vertical repertoire of the canyon, we will tackle a more technical route with 3 compulsory abseils of 25, 30 and 12 metres each, which will turn the activity into a real journey through the folds of the mountain.
We will close the experience with a return on foot along a path. The activity will last approximately 3 hours in total.
