The FONDO AMIGOS DEL BUITRE association in Santa Cilia offers small ornithological excursions to observe the large raptors of Sierra de Guara. Manuel made us discover his passion for these little-known birds of prey and yet first inhabitants of the cliffs of Guara. In addition to the famous Griffon Vultures, we were also able to see an Egyptian Egyptian Vulture, a Black Vulture and a Bearded Vulture!!

When the summer classics are impracticable due to water levels, nothing better to discover the star canyons of spring:

Discoveries & sensations in the fabulous FORMIGA: intense and very playful descent of this canyon in a gorge of conglomerate. This classic is all the more interesting in the spring because its slightly stronger than usual flow gives a sensational and sporty side to this canyon. The slides become almost ejectable and the waterfalls are more impressive. In short, re-discover the Formiga!

Adventures & endurance in the mythical MASCUN: take the path of the canyoning pioneers who ascended the canyon more than 45 years ago. This time, we will just go down it, from perched basins to suspended basins, discovering landscapes each more magical than the next. Lots of rappels, a few technical jumps and above all very long, the Mascun offers an unforgettable outing, tailored for an expert canyoning audience.

Ready, Set ….

We open the canyoning antenna this Wednesday, April 20. Already many groups have booked their outing! Do not hesitate any longer, contact us to organize your next stay in Sierra de Guara!

Offer a trip, a promise, a homecoming… For the next canyoning season from May 1 to September 30, a gift voucher in the amount of your choice for activities in Sierra de Guara or in the Jura, with the team of Sense of Water.

Report broadcast on Monday 23 August on the Sierra de Guara region, in partnership with LE SENS DE L’EAU (for the “canyoning” part).

Back to basics …

After a few bends, the landscape changes. Slowly, the road climbs and winds along the spine of the Barranco Fondo pass, direction: Les gorges du Mascun. Suddenly, the village appears. Rodellar, perched on its hill at the end of the road, is a gateway to nature. The vehicle stops, body and mind begin their journey.

We are preparing the canyoning equipment, we will need a neoprene suit, a helmet, a harness and fresh envy. This is how one of the first groups of the season arrives. They made the trip from Bordeaux and are happy to finally be able to stretch their legs on the winding paths of the Sierra de Guara. They are lucky, the weather is perfect, the water is crystal clear and there aren’t many people in the canyons.

We, the instructors, are happy !! Because we know that chemistry will take, that the Sierra de Guara never misses an appointment and that it always surprises, even when we know it by heart. We are happy to do our job as best we can, we are happy to see you soon by our side to admire the beauty of this powerful and incredible nature.

We descended the MASCUN Supérieur at the beginning of July 2020 in tribute to Pierre MINVIELLE: Recognized speleologist and first explorer of the most impressive canyons of Sierra de Guara, Pierre MINVIELLE is one of the pioneers of our activity. I was often inspired by his writings full of poetry, especially in his book “The Forgotten Sierra”. True lover of these mysterious gorges and the inhabitants of remote villages, he made the first epic ascents of the Rio Vero or the Mascun Superior.

In tribute to her work, we accompanied her daughter Caroline MINVIELLE in this legendary canyon that she had never crossed …

Thanks to her .. Thanks to Max for handling the strings !!!

We hope from spring 2020 to be able to enjoy with you the great outdoors of the Sierra de Guara.

Le Sens de l’Eau particularly thanks the medical teams who are currently fighting against the coronavirus, BRAVO !

Charles Perrin, graphic designer and photographer, accompanied us in one of the most famous canyons of the Sierra de Guara. Guillaume the monitor is ready to play, here is his selection of images !!!
