Descent of the Cajigar ravine in Viacamp 4 hours

In the colossal Sierra del Montsec there are many dry ravines where we can have fun in the middle of nature. However, there is one that stands out because it turns out to be the exception. The Caixigar is one of the few descents in Montsec that is aquatic and that we should enjoy if we like to descend ravines or want to start. To do this, we have planned a 4-hour canyoning route through Caixigar that will give us an unforgettable experience.

The Caixigar, more than a ravine, turns out to be a gorge, that is, a gorge between mountains. Due to this peculiarity we will be making a descent in a dark ravine which does not get much light even if the sun is at the highest point. This means that Caixigar receives the name of “the dark ones of Caixigar”, which will give us an unforgettable canyon feeling.

To begin our canyoning route we will first meet at the Montfalcó Hostel or at the Viacamp tourist office. From this meeting point, we will head to the beginning of the ravine and it will take no more than 1 hour to arrive. After equipping ourselves, we will be ready to begin our adventure.

Our canyoning route will begin by entering a short but deep gorge that after overcoming it, we will find an exciting 8-meter rappelling descent. Once negotiated, our body will not believe that it will receive such a dose of adrenaline, since we will immediately have to rappel down again next to a waterfall with a drop of 3 meters. Once we have managed to descend and advance a few meters, a fun 2-meter jump awaits us in a refreshing and deep pool.

Little by little we will see how it gets darker and darker and this will be because the walls that will surround us will become increasingly narrower and will give our ravine a more mystical and unique air. Our last stretch will consist of traveling through dark gorges that will widen and narrow as we pass until we suddenly see ourselves outside the ravine.

Enjoy this curious and unique ravine that is one of the few aquatic ones in the Sierra de Montsec and that will give you unparalleled contact with canyoning .
