Sierra y Cañones de Guara NP

A-1227, Bierge, Aragón

Description

The Sierra y Cañones de Guara National Park is centred around the Sierra de Guara mountain massif, in the northern part of Aragon. It is known for its caving, canyoning and climbing routes and natural features highlights such as the stunning Salto de Roldán rock formation and the waterfalls of Bierge (Salto de Bierge).

Access & Transport

The park is 25km northeast of the city of Huesca. There is no through-road but the road from Boerge to Rodellar does get to the rough center of the massif.

Instructions & Recommendations

We would recommend visiting the village of Alquezar and possibly join one of the activities leaving from there such as canyoning.

Meta review

An area that gets little air time, even from travel bloggers, but gets excellent online reviews. Visitors enjoy the wild aspect, small villages to discover - expect narrow and twisty roads - and the wealth of activities on offer with canyoning being often mentioned. Tip for those looking to hike: there is scant info on the ground so make your research online before heading to the trailhead.

Environmental & Social

Eco-friendly. Socially marginally positive as it potentially brings some revenues to the local villages

Conclusion

A real gem for nature and outdoor activities lovers. It is also pretty easy to reach from Huesca or Zaragoza and might be a good place to spend a couple of days trying out some adventure sports with one or several operators

Key positive

Some striking landscapes

Still mostly untouched and not commercialized

Key negative

Slow going on the roads

Suitability

Visitors with reduced mobility can enjoy many viewpoints from the road and discover villages but not access some of the trails and natural features
