The rivers of the Aragonese High Pyrenees are the setting that Jaca Guide Company uses for exciting as well as refreshing aquatic experiences descending the fast and vertiginous mountain channels .

We put you on one of these boats made for two people and we take you down the waters of rivers like the Ésera, the Ara or the Gállego. They are already classic rivers for whitewater descents in the Pyrenees. Apart from keeping an eye on the boat, take advantage of the landscape and the wonderful views it offers, it will be a unique experience for your senses.

Each of the rivers has several sections divided with different difficulties, so depending on your experience in kayaking or in another modality, you will be able to do one section or another. Whatever you choose, it is clear that you will end up in the water at some point. You can take an aquatic camera and immortalize this beautiful memory.

Naturally, we will give you some small guidelines before heading down the river so that you know what you are getting into and feel safer in the kayak.

In the ravines of the Pyrenees and the Sierra de Guara in the province of Huesca, canyoneering is a simply spectacular activity. The Jaca Guide Company takes you through an incredible variety of routes and levels of difficulty, each more surprising.

Especially the Sierra de Guara contains a number of unusual ravines, with itineraries full of magnificent landscapes between rock cuts, waterfalls and pools. And if what you like are the vertical ravines and the more flowing canyons of the Pyrenees, you will fall in love with them.

You can go through all these places well equipped with harnesses, ropes, helmet and other material. We will form expeditions with groups of similar level through the ravine that adapts to your conditions.

We can find up to 3 levels of canyons, allowing you to start canyoning with the first ones and progress from there until you undertake the most exciting and technical routes.

None of the descents is less than 2 hours long, also taking into account about 30 minutes of approach to the starting point of the descent.

To enjoy an unforgettable day and great experiences together with your group of friends, what better than sharing a trip on an inflatable raft rafting down one of the wildest rivers in the Aragonese Pyrenees.

Jaca Guide Company organizes rafting days on the Ara, Ésera and Gállego rivers among beautiful high mountain valleys. Although you will not have much time to admire the landscape since the descents will require all your attention to avoid the obstacles in the riverbed. You have to try to maintain balance and organize the rows. Don't worry if you fall into the water, get on the boat and start again.

Up to 9 people plus the invaluable presence of the monitor will make up the river route along the river. There are different difficulties in terms of water characteristics, some more bearable and others very wild with large rapids and waterfalls.

We will equip you with all the rafting material so that you can only focus on getting a good grip on the handle of the raft and rowing hard to maintain the stability of the boat.

The whitewater descent mode of hydrospeed is possibly the one that provokes the most intense sensations since it descends practically level with the river water. If you dare to check it out for yourself, we will provide you with a board and accompany you along the Gállego River bed so you can try it out.

We go down this river that runs through the Tena valley on the way to Sabiñánigo between rapid waters with jumps and turbulent areas ideal for practicing hydrospeed.

You will need a first contact and some brief prior explanations to get used to the handling of the board and the sensation of having fins on your feet, essential for propelling yourself through the water. If you like great emotions, this will be an incredible activity that you will surely want to repeat. Enjoy and discharge all the adrenaline to feel like a fish in water.

The duration of the descent will be between 1 hour and a half and 2 hours during which a guide will follow the entire group down the river.

You will be able to experience the fantastic sensations of speed and freshness while you describe incessant curves and almost surf the waters.

Jaca Guide Company takes you off the ski slopes and takes you off-piste to practice the so-called freeride on slopes with almost intact snow and it is a real joy to ski. We move around the ski resorts of Astún and Candanchú.

Whether or not you know how to ski, it is highly advisable that you join our off-piste ski courses since the snow conditions are different from those found inside the resort.

The duration of the classes will be2 hours.
