FAMILY RAFTING IN HUESCA
Our Family Rafting is an adventure activity oriented to the enjoyment of the whole family, accompanied by the little ones; it consists of descending a river on a raft with the help of paddles.
The Family Rafting in Huesca is offered daily, and we take all the needed time for you to enjoy the most, thus, we stop so those who want could jump to the crystal clear water of the rivers in the Pyrenees, float freely down the river for a moment, and to enjoy and play with water.
It is an ideal activity for families with small children; the whole family can do the rafting. From 4 years on, we descend about 8 km of river.
All our guides are qualified, licensed, highly experienced in rivers around the world, and specially trained

The Pyrenees and the Sierra de Guara offer us the best conditions for the practice of canyoning in Huesca.
Canyoning is done in narrow canyons cut into the bedrock stone, forming narrow gorges, in which we gradually overcome the obstacles, and slopes and drops that we find along the way: whether walking, jumping, swimming, abseiling or rappeling, sliding down, downclimbing, etc.
We jump to pools of crystalline water, slide by down slides that water and years have carved into the rock. We will use ropes to descend with the abseiling (rappelling) technique.
To practice canyoning it is not necessary to have previous experience, and we have different levels of difficulty for you to choose from, since we are in the best area for the practice of canyoning.
In the practice of canyoning, we usually descend aquatic canyons, but it is possible to descend dry canyons in case that the weather, rain or cold winter does not allow us to descent water canyons. Therefore, this activity can be done all year in Huesca.
Our qualified, certified and extensive experienced guides will accompany you safely, and you only have to worry about having fun with your family in this wonderful
They have sinuous, curving channels and their heights are higher compared to their widths (Thompson & Thompson, 2003). Irregularities toward the local direction of slant cause paths sinuosity. Canyons located in the Mammoth Cave run up to 80 to 100 feet high and 10-30 feet wide but many of them are not that high and much narrower. Vertical shafts are created where water can run down vertically alongside fractures (Call, 2010) as illustrated in figure 6.
Our hike will start here, at the north rim of the Grand Canyon. We will go all the way to the bottom of the canyon. But first, a description of this area. The Grand Canyon is one on the most visited and studies sites for geologists on Earth. There are almost forty major sedimentary rock layers exposed in the Grand Canyon. Some of these rocks layers are two hundred million years old or two billion years old. Most of the sediment that makes up the rocks was deposited by oceans and seas, which now, are long gone. We know this because there are many fossils and and other records on large bodies of water in the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is found in the Colorado Plateau. The Colorado Plateau is lifted almost two miles, or four and a fifth kilometers. It started to lift up seventy-five million years ago. This started a mountain-building period of time called the Laramide orogeny. During this period, the Rocky Mountains were created. The main types of rocks found in the Grand Canyon are limestone, siltstone, shale, and sandstone. Many of the layers are made up of limestone. Some examples of these are the Kaibab Limestone, the Redwall Limestone the Temple Butte Limestone, and the Muav
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are located in the southern Sierra Nevada range. These parks are one of the few America's longest mountain range. Kings Canyon has many features to offer such as tall cliffs, green meadows, and waterfalls. These parks contain over two hundred marble caves, with the two parks combined they create the longest cave in California, it's called Liburn Cave. They're small and can be found in isolated sections of the park. These parks are managed by categories such as: rare or sensitive animals that can close entry, research and study, and some are delicate and dangerous. They first opened a cave in 1941 where visitors can walk the trail. They created systems to help the parks from any damage to the cave because
The Lake and its coastline cities offer plenty of activities for the whole family. Go swimming in its freshwaters or enjoy a wide choice of non-motorised water sports and even fishing!
Around 650 A.D., the Mesa Verdean peoples initiated construction of apartment-style homes, termed by Spanish explorers as pueblos. The Puebloan architecture is original in that it utilized the local stone and mud deposits of the region to maintain the structural integrity of their burgeoning developments. As this community evolved into the twelfth century, Mesa Verdeans further integrated the geology of their environment into their lifestyles by building homes, known as cliff dwellings, within the naturally formed alcoves of Mesa Verde. By the thirteenth century, the Mesa Verdeans vacated this region due to severe droughts and subsequent social instability. Despite the later abandonment of their cliff dwellings, it is clear that the geology of Mesa Verde National Park impacted the lives of the Ancestral Puebloans significantly. The following sections provide detailed information regarding the rock formations that make up the geological
Rock climbing and hiking requires particular skills and knowledge and techniques to be performed successfully and with pleasure rather than discomfort. What are the main reasons for these skills and techniques, why they are good and what could happen if you would not have them.
The geology of the Mesa Verde is what made it possible for the Ancestral Pueblo to build their magnificent cliff dwellings in the first place. While this area has been named Mesa Verde, the correct term for the “mesas” is cuesta. A cuesta “gently dips in one direction”
With its windswept mesas, colorful cliffs, water-carved slot canyons, chiseled earth, rich colors, and magnificent vistas, the Colorado Plateau is one of the most beautiful and unique areas in the world. Ten national parks and eighteen national monuments lie within the boundaries of the Plateau. Located in the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States, the Colorado Plateau contains one of the seven wonders of the world—The Grand Canyon. Cline Library and Northern Arizona University is ideally positioned to focus on collecting the stories, images, and records of the
Mesa Verde National Park on the Colorado Plateau contains many geological aspects of interest, including its sedimentary rock layers, its canyons, its alcoves utilized by ancient people and how these alcoves were formed. Mesa Verde National Park is located in the southwest corner of Colorado, close to the Four Corners area, on top of a high mesa overlooking the Mancos River (Harris et al. 2004). The park, covering 81 square miles, consists of several main sedimentary formations that are characteristic to the park (Encyclopedia Britannica 2015). Canyons are carved into the sedimentary rock, with the cave dwellings found high on their steep walls. These dwellings are an especially unique aspect to the Mesa Verde National Park, and are built out of large alcoves. The alcoves were produced by weathering and erosion of the sedimentary rock type. To better understand how these alcoves formed, we must understand the geology of Mesa Verde National Park and how it has developed over history.
Goring Ox Law Many people do not realize how many laws people had to follow in the ancient east. The Hammurapi’s Laws and the readings from Exodus 21-23 have many similar qualities. But just like everything else they can be analyzed differently when they are being compared. While throughout both readings they talk about the goring ox law.
The depths found within the 6 canyons are deeper and the area is larger than the Grand Canyon. Mountain
It sounds like marrying a school teacher was a sin, and being a wife was nothing more than being a slave to her own family. I can’t believe Okele said this in 1970s! However, as Christian, he believed what is written in the Bible, he said what he thought was right.
When our parents got the boat in the water we all got in and rode to the middle of the lake.There we got on tubes and started going.
Imagine coming home after a day with your friends at the mall. When your parents ask you where you where, you tell them that you were working on a school project with your friends. What did you do when you told them you were working on a project? You were lying. Lying is something everyone has done in their life. So what exactly is lying? The definition of lying is an intentionally false statement. Even keeping silent if you know something is a lie, just a different type of lie than saying something intentionally incorrect. Some people have different views on lying than others. Some people think that telling any lie is fine. Others say that lies of any kind are dishonest and should not be used. Then, there are the people that believe that
Ever since the beginning of summer, I was looking forward to one activity in particular on this vacation: our white water rafting trip. I could just imagine the cool water of the river, and the wind swiftly rubbing my tiny little face. The trees dancing in the wind, while the birds sing me a gentle song while I aimlessly float down the river. This adventurous trip was quickly approaching us, as it was only a day away. I
