An activity that is both fun and full of sensations
I had the opportunity to participate in a group canyoning session and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Our guide, Nico, really made all the difference. He was not only extremely knowledgeable, but also super cool and funny, which made the activity even more enjoyable. Nico knew how to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere while ensuring our safety throughout the course. The sensations were there, and the setting was magnificent. If you are looking for an activity that is both fun and full of sensations, with a top-notch guide, I highly recommend this experience with Nico! Thank you!

Hot water canyon in Thuès: an exceptional geological setting
But where does this providential hot water come from?
It first infiltrates the Puigmal, Canigou and Carança massifs, at an altitude of 2 metres. Along its course, it penetrates deep underground and is heated by contact with the hot rocks of the earth's crust. Then, the Têt fault, which is at the origin of the birth of the Pyrenees chain, allows hot and sulphurous water to rise to the surface. It can reach up to 000°C!
This is how we find hydrothermal springs in the Pyrénées-Orientales, notably in St-Thomas-les-Bains, Thuès-les-Bains and Vernet-les-Bains.
In Thuès, the water runs through pretty mineral gorges, to the delight of canyoning enthusiasts!
