This wonderful canyon is located in the Valle de Tena, north of Biescas (Huesca) and is one of the classic ravines of the area. The Gorgol is a short but very aesthetic ravine, with half-height walls of curved and vaulted forms. This gorge is formed by the waters of the Lana Mayor river.
It has a first part with small projections and a couple of small slides that take us to a beautiful room. We then continue with another slide and a first rappel or salo of 7 meters, optional jumps of up to 7 meters with the possibility of mounting a spectacular zip line that puts us in the water. At the end we will find a beautiful waterfall somewhat flown where we will descend in a rappel of about 15 meters (mandatory), after a 10 meter handrail. At the end we come to a final pool bathed in the sun, and El Gorgol opens up little by little until we reach the area where we will leave the river. This gorge is a fantastic activity to enjoy with the family. It is perfect for those who want to start in the world of Canyoning because it is an easily accessible Barranco that has a little of everything.
