Our family had a great day in the canyon with IU as our guide. He did an excellent job pacing the trip and found many great spots for my adventurous kids (ages 23 to 14) to jump. He made the trip very fun and memorable. There were rock slides, spots where you had to go underwater, fun drops, and some really high jumping spots. My only suggestion is that Avalancha could be a little more precise on what to bring on the trip and make it easier to book online (it was very difficult from the US and we had to make an international call--obviously not as big an issue for those in Europe). IU was great and we would highly recommend him as a guide and would love to do another trip some day.

Querida Kyann,
Thank you very much for taking your time to leave us such a positive comment, it is appreciated that our clients are so satisfied after carrying out an activity with us. Iu is the perfect guide and has been giving his best version for years.
Regarding your suggestion, the informative message that we sent you, clearly states what the client has to bring... and inform you that no company in Alquezar has an online reservation. Anyway we value your suggestion and we will try to install it next year.
We hope to see you again soon, Hugs from the entire Avalancha team!

Our experience canyoning in Rio del Vero was fantastic. The canyon is spectacular and David was an awesome guide - very experienced and great vibe. He took tons of great photos and videos for us too. I definitely recommend renting the boots which are optional - they have great grip and there are some pretty slippery rocks on the hike to the canyon and back and also in the canyon and we were happy to have those boots. The wetsuits were great quality. Adventure lovers will love this experience!

Brilliant canyoning experience. We spent two nights at the Santa Maria Hotel in Alquézar and went canyoning with Avalancha. Our guide Iu (pronounced E U) was very professional and spoke Spanish, French, Catalan and most importantly for us - English. I felt safe at all times with him as our guide. The scenery was stunning, beautiful cliffs, pools, caves. It really was breathtaking. My family agrees it was the most fun we've ever had together. Highly recommended, memories to last a lifetime.

I went here while on holiday to go canyoning for the first time and it was amazing. Very friendly staff and we had a great guide Miguël. We’re from Belgium so we don’t speak Spanish and he always explained everyting in English or French so we understood what was coming. The big 8m jump was really fun. Overal great experience.

Me and my boyfriend had an excellent time in the Rio Vero Canyon! David is a great guide, very friendly and patient and he explained every difficulties in the canyon, so we felt safe even if it was the first time my boyfriend did canyoning! The Rio Vero is incredibly beautiful, with areas with jumps and slides. For me , it was my second time doing this canyon, but i enjoyed it as much as the first time. Its on my top list of thing to do and the most beautiful canyon I have done so far... David took great picture and videos of us two!! We have so many pictures !!, all interesting. I recommend that you take the option with "photo". Thanks David for the amazing day and pics. Sylvia and Laurent

This is an incredible canyoning experience, accessible to anybody in good shape. David, our guide was very helpfull and knowledgeable about the canyon. We felt very secure with him. Plus, he took a variety of pictures and videos of us jumping and grueling in the water, that are really magnificent. I highly recommend using Avalancha. Serge

A very good experience. Guides were really kind and they speak english, spanish and french. They also share interesting informations about the location and its biodiversity.
We've visited the Rio Vero's canyon : the water was incredibly refreshing and beautiful. Jumping in is so cool and everyone encourage each other so there is a team's spirit. It's accessible for children but also for older people (my mom did it and she's 60 years old). Just think to bring water and sunscreen ;)

We just did our second canyoning trip with Avalancha and it was amazing! We did the Peonera canyon and I would highly recommend it: it had a lot of cool jumps and slides and some nice diving parts as well. Our guide Iu was really kind, helpful and enthousiastic which made the whole trip even nicer! It was also really nice that he speaks multiple languages so everybody understood everything perfectly. Thank you, we had an awesome day!

David was amazing and very skilled a getting us through tricky areas, educating us on local topography and wildlife, and helping us have a great time. Admittedly I was wiped out after the initial hot, sunny trek to the beginning of the gorge, but the experience made up for it. I’ve never done anything like it and highly recommend!!

Solemos hacer barrancos acuaticos hasta el Pilar...y tambien dependiendo del tiempo que haga. Mas alla de esas fechas suele hacer bastante frio en el agua y la experiencia deja de ser grata.
