Aventures canyon en Sierra de Guara (7-day canyoning trip)

A seven-day guided canyoning trip based in the Rodellar valley at the heart of Sierra de Guara, Europe's classic canyoning region. Days are spent descending a progression of canyons (Rio Barazil, Rio Vero, Rio Mascun, Rio Formiga and the Peonera inferior), with full wetsuits, helmets, harnesses, canyon bags and waterproof barrels provided. Accommodation is in the valley (Guara Inluka auberge-hotel or Valle de Rodellar apart'hotel, family rooms with a pool), and a welcome gathering precedes the first dinner. This is a guided skills/adventure week, not the ICOpro professional guide-certification course.

The credential

ICOpro Canyon Leader / Guide certification (recognized professional canyoning award) · Certifying body: ICOpro / CIC (International Canyoning Commission) — national mountain-guide systems (e.g. AEGM Spain, IFMGA where applicable)

A recognised qualification an outside body stands behind is not the same as a certificate a school prints itself. We name which it is — you should ask the school the same.

What I check before I send you anywhere

I'm Arnaud. I cook for a living, and I've spent fifteen years on the water — so I know the difference between a real school and a good-looking website. I built the Atlas because I got tired of the second kind. Here is what a place has to clear before it goes on here, and what I'll tell you straight when it doesn't.

• The craft is actually alive there. A working scene, with people who do this every day — not a demo put on for visitors.
• There's a real teacher behind it. Named, still practising, and certified where the craft has certificates.
• The credential is what it claims to be. A state diploma and a certificate a school prints itself are not the same thing. I check which, and I say which.
• I tell you how sure I am. Most pages here are verified by hand. A few say "still checking" — I'd rather admit that than pretend.
• Nobody pays to be here. No commission, no selling the trip. The order on this map is the strength of the community, never the size of the wallet.
• If I wouldn't send a friend, it isn't on the map.
