Adventure company at the entrance to Alquézar, next to the campsite: Sierra de Guara canyons of all levels, via ferratas and rafting on the Ésera.

Alquezar Aventura is the active tourism company linked to the Camping Alquézar, at the entrance to the village and at the gates of the Sierra and Cañones de Guara Natural Park. The owning company is Promociones Turísticas Alquézar S.L., registered in the Huesca Commercial Register, and its website speaks of nineteen years of experience in adventure activities. The office is on the Barbastro road, which is also the meeting point for outings. The website does not publish an active tourism registration number or the qualifications of its guides.

## What it organises

The main thing is the Sierra de Guara canyons, grouped into four levels. The basic and introductory level includes the lower Vero, the Formiga, the Peonera, the Oscuros de Balcés, the Basender or the Petit Mascún, with jumps, natural slides, pools and some abseiling. The advanced level adds longer canyons, such as the full Vero or the Formiga with the Gorgonchón, and the high level reaches demanding classics such as the Mascún, the Gorgas Negras, the Chimiachas or the Otín, which are done in groups of four to six people and always at the guide's discretion.

It also guides via ferratas: the Peñas Juntas one, beside the river Isuala, near Bierge, introductory and around an hour and a half including the approach, and the Virgen del Castillo one. Outside Guara it runs the river Ésera by rafting, in the Aragonese Pyrenees, with a first stretch of class II and III rapids and another, Las Pirámides, of class III and IV, in about three hours in total and with no previous experience. The website also mentions climbing.

## Ages, equipment and how it works

Minimum ages depend on the activity. The lower Vero, the Formiga, the Petit Mascún and the Peñas Juntas ferrata can be done from age 7; the Peonera and Oscuros de Balcés from 10; and rafting from 13. The introductory canyons last between three and a half and almost six hours, depending on the route.

On the ferrata, the company supplies helmet, harness, energy absorbers with carabiners and a safety rope; you must bring trainers, food and water. On rafting it includes wetsuit, water shoes, paddle, helmet and life jacket. For canyoning, the rates also publish equipment hire by the piece (wetsuit, water shoes, dry barrel, helmet, backpack or harness), which is paid in advance and collected with your ID at the campsite reception, the same morning until 12:00 or the previous afternoon from 18:00. It is worth confirming when booking what is included in your outing.

For the ferrata you meet at the office at the set time and follow the guide in your own car to the starting car park; on other outings, ask how to get to the starting point. Activities depend on the weather and the guide may change the itinerary. They ask you to tell the office about any illness, injury or phobia.

## Booking, cancellation and languages

You book online on the campsite's platform, with the promotion code the website gives, or by phone on 974 318 300 and at camping@alquezar.com. When booking you pay 50% by card. If you cancel more than 14 days in advance that 50% is refunded; with less notice, it is lost. Rates are per person and fall from four people. The website is in Spanish, English and French, but does not say in which languages each outing is guided.

The easiest descent from the village is on the listing for canyoning in the lower Vero.
