Canyoning in the Ravine of Les Espones, Lleida
The Les Espones ravine, which is located within a forest, is located in Vall Fosca, in front of the Roi i d'En Solà ravine >, also known as Montrós ravine. This ravine is located in Pallars Jussà, in Lleida.
It is one of the star ravines in the area since it has numerous slides with water all year round and beautiful landscapes. You will believe that you are in the middle of the jungle since you will be surrounded by vegetation throughout the descent.
It has a medium level of difficulty and the duration of the descent is approximately 3-4 hours. The rock we find in this ravine is granite and slate.
The route is 2000 meters and has a gradient of 300 meters. The recommended time to do the descent is between the months of May to September. It is not advisable to make the descent before as the flow is very cold and abundant.
Ravine tour
It is a very fun ravine that is characterized by having a large number of slides and short rappels that take place within the waterfalls.
The ravine has two parts: the first is more difficult with more rappels and jumps; and the second simplest with slides and some jumps. It has 4 rappels, the highest being 18 meters high.
The descent begins with a small jump of 3 meters, followed by a 5-meter projection that will lead you to a small slide of about 6 meters.
If you continue you will find a jump and a couple of slides longer than the previous one. From there, you will reach a highlight that you can pass without many complications.
After this you will find the first rappelling of 5 meters high. It is one of the most beautiful rappels of the descent since the waterfall is formed when the water passes over a log embedded in the riverbed.
When you pass this area, you will find one of the most beautiful areas of the canyon. This area is made up of reddish rock that has a 10 meter rappel and another 4 meter rappel.
If you continue walking you will come across two other ledges, which you can go down as if they were a slide.
The descent continues with a rappel of 8 meters and another of 10 meters. You keep walking and you will find two more rappels.
Afterwards there is a small jumpable rappel and then a jumpable ledge through which you will reach a slide divided into two parts.
Next, there will be a small 8 meter rappel and a shuttle slide, 6 meters are rappelled and 2 meters are descended by slide.
After this you will reach the second part. In this part you will find different wells and an 8-meter slide. From there there are small slides and some simple jumps.
