The Frenchman Lucien Briet began to show with his photographs what was hidden behind these deep ravines. In the 60s and 70s, French and Spanish mountaineers began to descend the riverbeds, giving rise to the first topography of canyons by Pierre Minvielle. At the same time, it was the first practice of canyoning in Guara, which still today shares the mystery and the landscape of its rivers with all visitors to the Sierra. That is why the natural park of the Sierra and canyons of Guara is considered to be the cradle of canyoning in Europe and the world, and has more than 60 canyoning sport canyons.
Canyoning is an activity that combines fun, sportsmanship, contact with nature and adventure.
Those who practise this sport will swim, jump, rappel and dive down the riverbed, avoiding the obstacles created by the erosion caused by the water over hundreds of years.
