Description

The Barranco de Aján, in the Vega de Pas valley, is considered one of the most fun and complete descents in Cantabria. In its full version, you travel from top to bottom, chaining jumps into pools, long natural slides, and rappels in a spectacular forest and water setting.

It is a medium-level activity, lasting about four to five hours, where a professional guide accompanies you and teaches you the necessary techniques while you overcome the canyon's obstacles. It requires normal physical condition and a desire for adventure: it is the ideal option for those who have already started or are looking for a longer and more intense canyoning day.
