Boat Tour Along the Finestres Wall in Àger, Lérida

Context The Canelles Reservoir, located in the comarca of La Noguera (Lérida), offers a landscape dominated by the Finestres Wall—a unique geological fold with vertical strata reaching up to 80 meters in height. This protected natural area reflects in its calm waters the dramatic cliffs and historical remains such as the Romanesque hermitage of Sant Vicenç and a medieval castle, creating a distinctive setting for boating.

The Experience You will board a stable 14-passenger catamaran from the Corçà Pier in Àger. Over approximately 75 minutes, you will travel 22 km across the reservoir, surrounded by cliffs where common vultures nest. The golden light of late afternoon gently touches the water as you observe these birds and geological formations up close. The tour includes guided commentary on the Finestres Wall and local history, concluding with a peaceful return to the starting point.

For Whom This low-physical-effort activity is suitable for families with children over 6 years old, older adults, or individuals with limited mobility who can access the pier. It appeals to geology enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and nature lovers. Not recommended for those with fear of small boats or very limited mobility without assistance.

Local Context Àger and its surroundings preserve rural traditions and medieval history visible in the hermitage and castle that border the Finestres Wall. The local community values landscape and biodiversity conservation, particularly the protection of vulture colonies nesting in the cliffs.
