Kayak + Via Ferrata

The Miravet–Benifallet canoe route is our crown jewel, the most spectacular kayak route and our clients' favourite! They say it is the most beautiful stretch of the Catalan Ebro. The Ebro, our protagonist, leaves the lands of the Ribera d'Ebre and gently flows into the Baix Ebre to bring it its vital gift.

Here it shows us the Barrufemes gorge, one of its most beautiful faces: with hair of lush vegetation, a nose and ears of ancient rock, and eyes that watch over us. Enclosed between the last foothills of the Cardó mountains and the side spurs of the Cavalls and Pàndols ranges, it forms a setting of unique scenic beauty, together with a great historical and cultural heritage. The route is far from the road, so you are surrounded by nature for almost the entire trip. We will arrive in Benifallet, which offers rich and varied gastronomy, produce from its market gardens, the beautiful Coves Meravelles caves, or walks in the Cardó mountains. Benifallet is said to be the village of the caves, the llaüt (traditional boat), the canoes, the table, the fruit and the little pastry.

The Pas de Barca is a very peaceful spot, with a wonderful panoramic view of the river, the village of Miravet and its castle. Before getting on the water, we give a short theoretical and practical briefing and some tips for the less experienced, and then it's everyone into the river. In this area, with very calm water and no current, the theory is put into practice and the most basic manoeuvres are learned easily and quickly.

Our guides accompany the group and keep an eye on everyone at all times. They also coach you in the correct paddling technique and river navigation, and point out the places of interest along the route, both historical and scenic. During the descent we usually make a stop to rest, stretch our legs, drink, eat, take photos, go for a swim, swap boats, observe wildlife… We also paddle through the middle of some beautiful islands along the way, where you can appreciate even more the beauty and richness of the riverside forest.

If you have experience, it can be done without a guide.

We have single and double kayaks, as well as triple and quad ones (we only recommend these when two adults travel with children in the middle). Please let us know how many and which types of kayak you would like.

The Penyaflor via ferrata is a vertical route at the gateway to the Ports Natural Park.

Located between Els Reguers and Alfara de Carles (two villages very close to Tortosa), it is an intense via ferrata, recently extended, which makes it the most attractive in the Terres de l'Ebre. It is a circular route, enjoyable and fun, with a bit of everything: steps, walkways, handrails, chains, two Tibetan bridges…

With the extension, about 100 more metres were equipped, with a new 15-metre Tibetan bridge at a height of 60 metres, a 30-metre aerial traverse along the rock face and a section of stairs climbing a 20-metre gully, called the Escarrissons pass. In total there are now two Tibetan bridges and one walkway. The difficulty does not change and neither does the route, because this section used to be done on foot and, if you wish, it can be skipped. The route across some terraced ledges with a big drop stands out and adds to the spectacle.

The 20-minute approach makes it a very interesting via ferrata for making the most of a day in the mountains. It is usually a windy area, but the views once the ferrata is done give an idea of the contrast between the majestic Port massif and the Ebro river valley.

The Penyaflor via ferrata is 1.43 km long in total and is rated K3 on the Hüsler scale.

We offer rental of via ferrata lanyards (energy absorbers) + harness + helmet for €20 per day.
