Insider tips

  • ★Book lunch in advance at a local Rupit restaurant; the tour includes hiking time but meals are separate expense, so reserve a table to avoid missing out on authentic Catalan cuisine
  • ★Start early in the day—the 1.5-hour minivan transfer from Barcelona means an early pickup, but you'll catch the best light at the waterfall and cliff viewpoints
  • ★Wear proper hiking boots; forest terrain can be muddy or rocky, especially after rain, and you'll want ankle support for cliff-edge sections
