San Poncio or Perles Canyon: Fígols and Alinyà

To descend the San Poncio or Perles canyon in Fígols and Alinyà, get in touch with us — it might be the best beginner-friendly canyon in the Alt Urgell region, also very close to the municipality of Coll de Nargó.

If you’re looking to go canyoning near Organyà or Coll de Nargó, Perles Canyon is right next door. It’s a well-formed limestone canyon, short, easy, and fun — with a great reward at the end.

The Perles Canyon, which belongs to the municipality of Fígols and Alinyà, begins just beneath a bridge that leads into a tunnel. The surroundings are impressive, surrounded by high rock walls popular for climbing.

To start, you only need to walk 5 minutes to get below the bridge. You can leave your car at a small pull-off area on the road just before reaching the bridge or entering the tunnel toward Alinyà.

The first section of the canyon is a beautiful 3-meter slide into a pool, which can also be jumped into or rappelled, depending on preference. The pool is deep but narrow.

From there, you continue by scrambling and doing small rappels of around 2 to 4 meters until you reach the highlight of the canyon — at least in my opinion — a fully vertical 17-meter rappel directly into the Perles River.
