Canyoning in the Barranco de l’Infern, Lleida
The l’Infern ravine, 20 kilometers from Sort, is located in the Congost de Collegats, Lleida. It is one of the best-known and most visited ravines in Catalonia and one of the most spectacular ravines in the Lleida Pyrenees.
To get to the ravine you have to cross the Noguera Pallaresa river as it passes through Collegats. It can be done in several ways depending on the time of year you go.
It is a spectacular ravine with walls more than 160 meters high. It stands out for its spectacular cave halfway down the road known as "Cave of Hell" which gives its name to this ravine.
The recommended time to do the descent is in spring since there is abundant water in the flow, although you can also do it in summer.
The duration of the descent is approximately 2-3 hours and the level of difficulty is low-intermediate. It has a slope of more than 18 meters.
You will have wonderful views and see some very beautiful natural formations. Along the way you will be accompanied by its white stones and turquoise waters.
Ravine tour
Rappelling predominates in this ravine. During the descent you will go through 4 rappels of 9, 20, 11 and 7 meters respectively; slides, a siphon and several projections. You will discover the wonderful "Cave of Hell" 20 meters high.
The descent begins with a couple of bumps to reach the first rappel, in this case 9 meters. When you finish descending it you will enter some beautiful corridors.
After crossing the corridors you will reach the most beautiful rappel of the entire route, the 20-meter rappel of the "Hell's Cave". You will be impressed, it is amazing. It is a vertical and dark descent with a waterfall where it is inevitable to get wet.
You will pass the Cueva del Infierno and you will reach the next rappel, 11 meters. You will find yourself inside a large dark and cold room where there are a couple of turns and you will reach the rappel. Don't be afraid, it is simpler than it seems and what its name says about it. To leave this area you will have to descend about 5 meters.
From this point there is only 1 rappel left, the 7 meter one. A simple rappel through which you will reach the last piece that you will have to climb down.
Once the descent through the ravine has finished, you will have to cross the Noguera Pallaresa river again.
