Finding a company with the basic infrastructure that allows you to do an adventure activity is not always easy. However, at Aguazul Active Tourism we have our own hostel in Guardo, in the interior of the province of Palencia. With this, we have the necessary spaces to start any discipline, having important support in terms of accommodation and classrooms to develop courses of different modalities.

- Our facilities: they are perfect for groups because they have a total of 5 rooms and each of them can sleep up to 10 people at the same time. In addition, the lockers have keys to safely store personal belongings.

- Services for those who visit us: although we are in a place that invites you to disconnect, you will only be isolated if you decide to because here you have Wi-Fi and a comfortable room to watch TV. You can also wash your luggage and leave it ready in the dryer. If you need sheets or towels, we will rent them to you.

-What can you do here?: participate in any of our youth camps, if you are between 12 and 16 years old, or sign up for the courses initiation to extreme sports, such as canyoning, which is our protagonist in the month of September 2016.

Aguazul Active Tourism is not going to be your guide to explore the ravines of the Fuentes Carrionas Natural Park. We don't set limits for you and what we will do instead is teach you how to descend a canyon, we will also do it from scratch so you can sign up right now.
Our course takes place on weekends in the middle of September, so that you can combine it with your usual tasks from Monday to Friday. We will see each other on the 10th and 11th and on the 17th and 18th.

- What will we lend you?: things that you usually won't have at home such as neoprene and all the technical material. Full board stay is also covered.

- What do you have to bring?: Come with your computer and a notebook to write down as we will start with the theoretical concepts that will be very useful for later moving on to the river.

- What do we want to achieve?: an autonomous student in terms of what level 1 refers to. You will be able to progress alone in canyons that are not complex but, for safety, always go with someone who knows more than you.

At the end of this program you will also have some ideas about first aid, very useful in case you have to face any dangerous circumstance in the future.

At Aguazul Active Tourism we are in charge of managing the Cara Norte Hostel, a circumstance that we take advantage of to organize adventure activity camps. In our case, they are intended for participants who have reached the age of 12 and do not exceed 16.

We will be available for them in the month of August, in a first shift from the 1st to the 11th, and in a second program that begins on the 15th and extends until the 25th.

- The stay: as we mentioned, in our hostel close to 60 places, renovated so that the boys and girls have everything they will need for the stay, from bedrooms with bunk beds, to the interior common areas and exteriors.

- The activities: before starting our adventure we have carefully studied what we will do each of the 11 days that we will share. We get up at 9 a.m. to have 60 minutes for breakfast to prepare us for the main activity of the day. They will be sports such as climbing, hiking and caving.

In the afternoon the games are a little lighter and we also leave time for the pool. At 10 p.m. at night we will close each day in a special way. On the last day each of you will receive a CD that contains photos of everything we have done.

Having the possibility of entering the underground environment is not available to everyone. Aguazul Active Tourism offers you that possibility, putting at your disposal the best material and human means so that you can enjoy without worries of doing your adventurer dreams.

Valcesoro-Covona Crossing

The flagship of the underground activities is without a doubt the visit to the watercourse of the Val Porquero cave. It is a journey of more than 3 kilometers, where emotions are more than guaranteed. The entrance is through the Val Porquero cave, covering part of its tourist section, which will be abandoned at an obligatory point to descend to the watercourse.

Rappels, slides, deep passages with transparent waters, beautiful meanders and spaces richly decorated by nature await you. A true natural aqua park in an unparalleled environment. We will continue downstream until we exit through Covona.

But the adventure does not end here, we must continue descending to the bed of the Torio River, through the ravine formed by the Covona spring. In short, a totally recommended activity for lovers of new and exciting adventures.

Aguazul Active Tourism offers you its mountain climbing activities in Palencia. Authentic adventures that will make you enjoy like a true mountaineer.

Aguazul Active Tourism wants you to enjoy the snow to the fullest this winter. To do this, he has designed a plan that you won't be able to resist. It is about spending two days in Palencia enjoying backcountry skiing and with accommodation included. Do you feel like it?

Ski touring has nothing to do with the ski you have tried, forget about the nerves when going down a slope, forget about taking chairlifts and forget about crowds. It is a calm sport that is physically accessible to everyone and even financially.

You will ascend a peak and descend it on an excursion through different areas, bordering forests and along snow and ice tracks in some sections.

In two days, the duration of the course, you will get to know this sport in depth and learn some progression maneuvers as well as technical and some theoretical knowledge that will allow you, once the course is finished, to do any route.

Experience doesn't matter here, what counts is the desire and knowing how to ski and some physical fitness. If you have your own material you can bring it, if you prefer Aguazul Turismo Activo will provide it to you. It is mandatory to bring a thirty-five liter backpack in terms of capacity.

In the accommodation you will rest one night with half board.
