Some of them are ornithological, others botanical, and we even have some forest itineraries to learn about the climatic and physical characteristics of the region as well as its history and culture.

• Via Ferrata : vertical and horizontal sections suitable for all audiences. Our favorite is the Patacons via ferrata , in the Mussara mountain range, near Reus. In it we find bridges up to 28 meters high from which you can contemplate spectacular views.

We have a wide opening hours to the public, do not hesitate to call us if you need us to clarify any questions.

At TivissaRocks we want you to know the wonderful world of mountaineering from all possible angles, and if it is from above, even better. For this reason, we have organized several activities that will allow you to get closer and introduce yourself to climbing and put your skills to the test to overcome all the obstacles that arise during your training. Our activities are the following:

• Climbing baptism : suitable for all audiences, regardless of their level of training. We start from scratch , learning the basic notions of this sport and knowing our strengths and those that we must improve. We have an ideal natural environment for climbing, in fact, southern Catalonia is considered the world epicenter of this sport. Some of the places where we will practice climbing are the Tivissa, Margalef, Siurana, or Montserrat sector . The duration of the baptism is usually full day .

• Introductory course : the objective of this course is to achieve the autonomy necessary in the logistical preparation of a day of climbing. We will teach you to belay your partner, to make different types of knots and to deepen the progression technique. We will put into practice everything we have learned in different routes that we will do on a weekend or 2 alternate days .

In addition, we have other types of courses for more advanced levels for which we will be happy to advise you.

At TivissaRocks we are lovers of nature and everything related to mountains and heights, for this reason we have organized several activities that will allow you to get to know the environment in a closer way and with a personal treatment that we Difference from other companies.

We have several expert guides in hiking who are in charge of designing routes of different levels of difficulty and different themes. Some of them are destined to the observation of the flora and fauna of the zone; others focus on the stories and legends of the environment. The variety is very wide, so it is best to consult our catalog and decide which route you want to take.

An example of the routes most acclaimed by our users are:

• The cave paintings of the Vilella cave : 12 km circular route which usually takes 3 hours. We left early to take advantage of the morning light and thus contemplate the landscape in all its splendor.

• Deciduous forests of Tivissa: forest and silvicultural route, dedicated to the knowledge of the different mountainous environments and their characteristics. We will see protected tree species such as Holly and Yew that survive in the most humid and wild corners of our territory.

• GR-7 trail: route through the most beautiful places that this mythical long-distance trail runs, curiously enough we will pass through the point where this practice of marking the trails began: kilometer zero of the long-distance trails in the Hermitage of Sant Blai de Tivissa.

• Sierra de Llaberia: starting from the beautiful town of Pratdip, we will cross one of the most beautiful ridges with views of the Mediterranean in the entire territory: Las Crestas de la Seda. A route that will take us to the highest point of the Costa Dorada, La Miranda de Llaberia where the meteorological radar is located.

If you want, we can also organize tailor-made excursions. Send us your proposal and we will evaluate it.
