Compañia de Guias de Montaña Norte de Extremadura

At the Northern Extremadura Mountain Guide Company we prepare and advise you so that you are able to overcome the adventure challenges that we propose in the Valle del Jerte and the Sierra de Gredos, among other locations.

We guarantee your safety thanks to the coordination of Javier Gil, the only professional accredited by the specific entities of these extreme sports in the area.

Under his guidance we will experience:

- Canyoning: mostly aquatic such as the Papuos ravine, in which we will combine the sections inside the river with natural rock obstacles.

- Caving: especially recommended in the case of the Val Porquero ravine speleo.

- Mountain ascent: through climbing or via ferrata for those who want a very simple first contact.

- Hiking: with the possibility of choosing a natural or historical route or combining it with orienteering games.

- Auxiliary activities: such as zip-lining or rappelling that we can adapt to the rest of the sports or practice them separately.

At North Extremadura Mountain Guide Company we are specialized in descending the ravines that run through the amazing Jerte Valley.

To achieve this, we benefit from the experience of professional sports technicians under the direction of Javier Gil, recognized by the Spanish Association that brings together these graduates.

What will we do?

- We will choose one of the sections that our center has studied and enabled for this activity. It is necessary to know the ravine to the millimeter so as not to be surprised by insurmountable obstacles or those that exceed the level of the group in excess.

- We will analyze the conditions of the participants to determine what type of outing is the most appropriate. Based on this data we will agree on the level and duration of the descent.

- In each expedition we will face the course of the river, in almost entirely aquatic itineraries, with slides on the rock and changes in height that we will only overcome by rappelling.

With the Northern Extremadura Mountain Guide Company discover how to get to know the mountains in winter, at a calm pace, only with the help of snowshoes that will prevent us from sinking when walking.

This is a very simple activity that you will not take long to internalize. With them:

- We will plan an expedition that crosses the Sierra de Gredos. To complete it we will need to complete several stages, so we will spend the night in igloos that we will learn to build as we go using the snow and ice itself. We will witness the surprising change in temperature that occurs between the interior of the construction and the exterior, allowing us to spend the night protected from the extreme cold.

- We will have the opportunity to visit the nerve centers of the area where the company's instructors will take us.

To reserve your date, keep an eye on the weather, although the usual dates begin at the end of November and the first days of December, until March depending on the snow accumulated during the season.

From North Extremadura Mountain Guide Company we accompany you on hiking routes through the regions that make up the region, such as Hurdes, Gata, Ambroz, Tierras de Granadilla, Valle del Jerte and La Vera. These destinations, known for their natural wealth, will also give us the opportunity to delve into the customs of their inhabitants, their architecture that remains intact over the years, and their characteristic gastronomy.

The itineraries are distinguished by levels and duration, from a minimum of half a day to a complete trip of more than one day. Some of the most interesting excursions we offer are the following:

• GR 111
• Mountain routes through Gredos.
• Pylons and reserve of the Garganta de los Infiernos

At Compañia de Guias Norte de Extremadura Hiking we have also prepared a series of routes based on its historical importance and its influence on the current configuration of the area:

• Charles V Route
• Silver Route
• Water Route

If you come to Extremadura make sure you don't miss any details by letting our professionals guide you.

Start preparing for climbing, in a controlled environment, with the Northern Extremadura Guide Company.

Thanks to the training of our instructors, approved by national organizations, we are able to teach you, or accompany you during a day practicing this activity, through different options:

- Lessons in an artificial climbing wall: with the advantage that you will feel totally safe since all the variables are controlled in a space specially set up for this purpose.

- Baptism of ice climbing: our most fervent recommendation since you will get very different sensations from climbing a rock wall and you will see the different tools that are used.

- Excursions in search of vertical walls in the Jerte Valley: a special way to get to know this environment famous for its changing landscapes throughout the year.

We always provide these services with a small number of participants per instructor, so that your safety is not neglected.

Climb with Northern Extremadura Vía Ferrata Mountain Guide Company large equipped walls, with zip lines, steps, walkways and different elements that will provide you with sensations with certain similarities to climbing, avoiding the typical difficulties of this sport.

We will accompany you to the Pyrenees, where we will find several of these itineraries, of different lengths and heights that adapt to the needs of the members of the group.

Always thinking about your comfort, we have everything you need:

• Monitors qualified and recognized by the Spanish Association of Mountain Guides.
• Technical material so that we all remain hooked to a lifeline during the journey.
• Accident and Civil Liability Insurance that will protect us in case of mishaps.

Make up your mind and come see us at the time you choose since the only requirement that is important that you meet is the absence of vertigo.

At the Northern Extremadura Mountain Guide Company we want you to try caving through a complete experience in which we add the descent of canyons in a package that we call the speleoravine of Val Porquero. p>

We tell you some details:

- To get to this cave we will travel to the province of León, accessing from the Sima de las Perlas.

- Inside the cavity we will find 200 meters of underground rappels that head towards the river. We will go from one gallery to another by using ropes, descending with the help of the monitors.

- In this cave, we will have to face very narrow passages that we can only access one at a time.

Before starting the underground itinerary, we will put on a neoprene suit, a safety harness and a helmet with a flashlight that will allow us to mark the route since the absence of light in this natural area is absolute.

In the north of Extremadura we have one of the best areas for mountain biking. We surround ourselves with countless tracks that connect, resulting in a real tangle of paths that we can travel with the mountain bike.

We offer all types of routes, from easy trails for beginners to large multi-day itineraries, with powerful slopes, difficult climbs, trials and well-deserved descents, only suitable for cyclists accustomed to doing routes of these characteristics.

At Northern Extremadura BTT Guide Company we organize all the infrastructure for trips that exceed one day. You only worry about enjoying your favorite sport, the rest is on us: support car, supplies, route assistance, camping, mechanics and food.

At the North Extremadura Guide Company we use the zip line as part of the training we provide on rescue techniques for evacuations during the course of an adventure activity.

The zip line is usually used as a form of recreation, however it is very useful when transporting injured people from one point to another in a natural environment with sufficient stability to not aggravate their injuries. One of the occasions that we will address is canyoning. We place a rope at both ends of a river bed and install a harness system that allows the patient to slide at the pace chosen by the professionals who are in charge of the evacuation at that moment.

This system also allows us to overcome a possible unevenness; it is not necessary for the anchor points to be at the same height for it to be effective. Come see for yourself and let our team of professional guides instruct you in this useful knowledge for regulars of outdoor sports.

Get one of the most useful techniques in extreme sports with North Extremadura Rappel Guide Company.

We will teach you the simplest way to overcome large slopes by sliding slowly with the help of a rope and a specific harness system. Thanks to this, you will have no problems moving from one level to another in a ravine, returning to the ground after a climbing section, or changing galleries in a cave.

To rappel for the first time:

- We will put ourselves in the hands of our qualified professionals who will begin by explaining the material that is commonly used.

- We will put on the harness and adopt the correct position to begin the descent, without ever neglecting fundamental safety elements such as the helmet.

- We go down in sections, slowly and controlling the speed while another person is in charge of managing the rope from below so that everything happens normally.

Compañia de Guias Norte de Extremadura Orientación offers basic orientation courses in which we begin to read maps, the compass, the use of GPS and current navigation systems.

GPS (Global Position System) has become one of the most used elements today. Participants will check how they work, and through an orientation test, they will put into play their ability to apply them to a real situation.

The test aims to locate the correct path within the proposed routes. To do this, we will give you a map of the area and together you will look for the waypoints to reach our destination. We will always be accompanied by a guide so as not to get lost.

Get in touch with North Extremadura Orientation Guide Company and come enjoy the best orientation routes.
