The event you've been waiting for is finally here! It's time to enjoy adventure sports in the Pyrenees at the best time to practice them!
Join us for 3 days and 3 nights in a rural house in a small stone village located in the heart of the Lleida Pyrenees (near Sort), in the Pallars Sobirà area. We will enjoy it in a small group of less than 10 people.

From May 15th to 18th, we'll visit the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park and participate in various adventure sports activities such as rafting and canyoning, or horseback riding for those who want a more relaxed experience. We'll also take some hiking routes from the house where we'll be staying, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful spring greenery of this area. If we're lucky, we might see some wild animals such as deer, roe deer, or vultures; but the only ones I can guarantee you'll see are cows, calves, horses, sheep, and alpacas.
During these days of mountain conviviality, we'll also be able to play some games, or take a bachata initiation class for those who want to try it out.

The price includes everything except the adventure activities, so you won't have to worry about anything else; just sign up for the event and enjoy!

DAY-BY-DAY PLAN:

THURSDAY, 5/15/2025: Departure by car from Barcelona (Plaza Lesseps) at 5:30 p.m., or contact me if you can't make it to this point and need to depart from somewhere else. We'll have a 3-hour drive to reach the house, located in a village in Sort. We'll have dinner at the house.

FRIDAY: Visit to the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, taking a circular route to the lake (the most famous in the park) and seeing a waterfall, another lake in the area, and the views of the impressive Pico dels Encantats, the symbol of the national park.
The route is of moderate difficulty, 14 km long, with a 750-meter elevation gain, although if someone wishes, they can do a shorter route without affecting the group.
We will eat from a Tupperware during the route: macaroni with tomato, vegetables, and fruit. We will have dinner at home.

SATURDAY: 14 km rafting in the morning on the Noguera Pallaresa River, one of the best rivers in Europe for this adventure sport. If anyone prefers to do another activity, such as horseback riding, they can also do so; please let me know in advance.
We will have lunch at a restaurant in Sort, serving a daily menu (includes water, wine, and dessert).
In the afternoon, we will visit a small village in the area and hike a trail in the village. We will have dinner at the house.

SUNDAY: In the morning, we will go canyoning in one of the area's ravines and have lunch at a restaurant. In the afternoon, we will return to Barcelona.
