Barranc dels Empedrats

The Barranc dels Empedrats, near Bagà, is an aquatic canyon with 8 rappels, the longest being 17m. The approach takes 25 minutes from the Aula Natura La Salle parking, following a path that crosses the stream three times before descending to the start. The canyon has water all year, a full wetsuit is recommended, and the equipment is excellent with chemical anchors. The descent begins with an 11m rappel from a tree into a waist-deep pool, followed by a 14m rappel down slippery ramps with an awkward exit. A short 3m rappel leads to another pool. The route is characterized by slippery sections in the active flow. Escape routes are available along the course. The return walk is a quick 15 minutes. This canyon is suitable for those seeking a moderately vertical and aquatic experience.
