The approach to Font de Bordonera starts from Organyà. With one car, drive 3.7 km up Av. Santa Fe to the Font de Bordonera picnic area (1 hour). With two cars, one can be left in Organyà and the other at the picnic area for immediate access. The canyon begins from the picnic area, following a path parallel to the water source. The descent features several crystal-clear pools and five rappels, with the longest being 20 meters. The first rappel is 15m, followed by aquatic hiking with small pools and a 3m jump. Anchors consist of chemical bolts and parabolts with maillons. A 2x20m rope is needed, and a shorty wetsuit is recommended due to the aquatic nature (a2). There are several escape routes throughout the 1.5 km course. The descent takes about 3 hours, followed by a 30-minute return walk to Organyà.
