Font Of the Rajolí

This excursion splits of the Hermitage of the Mare of Deu of the Pertusa, to which accesses from Ager, village of the region of the Montsec in Lleida, to the village of Corça, i from there with car until where finalises the road in the Church of Mare of Deu of  the Pertusa,  to 663m. Of altitude.

From Ager can do a lot of activities of mountain, from the hiking, to parapente, to cayac in the Congosto of Mont  Rebei.

The parapente is very recommended if some time have thought in flying, but the of the parachute you parace very brave. The true is that it is of the more placido that there is, in any moment seems that you go to fall or that have vértigo, on the contrary seat you suspended, enjoying of the feeling of ingravidez i seeing to your feet all the Saw of the Montsec. We jump from the Pla d'Ares, near of the astronomical Park of the Montsec, also recommended, and did the activity with an agency “entrenuvols”, very pleasant and professional.

Once in Mare of Deu of the Pertusa will find us with the impressive vision of the Embalse of Canelles from the Rio of the Noguera Ribagorçana.

Also it impressed us the Church of Mare of Deu of the Pertusa that heaves in a salient of the rugged geography of the walls of the embalse. Frankly it is incredible to think as they built this small hermitage to the edge of the precipicio. There is a way, no very difficult, although if it seems it, that carries us until her. It is worthwhile to do an effort and approach to the hermitage. In one of his walls can do climbing.

To start with the excursion do not have lost, since to the right of the parking goes out a marked way like GR to the congosto of the marsh.

We go walking and to measure that advance go seeing the walls of the marsh more near and narrower. The way is a go up low, slightly rugged, with a lot of stone.

We advance and without more, to the cape of roughly of 1 hours and average arrive to an ancient Shelter called “But Carlerts” i the “Font”of Rajolí . The shelter is an ancient abandoned farm, where can do a tentempié under the shadow of an immense tree that gives us the welcome.

The route is of big geological value by the congosto of the Noguera Ribagorçana that cuts the rock separating Aragon of Catalonia. It walks between an impactante geology of enormous “penya-segats”. All the route is a followed of geological strata settled from principles and the secondary era or Mesozoica until the Quaternary.

Our excursion arrive until THE Shelter, and  in another hour roughly were of return in the Parking of the Hermitage.

The total Kilometres, of gone and turn,  are some 11km, and the desnivel accumulated some 250m. Of desnivel.

The excursion can follow until arriving to the bridge colgante  of the Congosto of Mont-rebei, with which the excursion, although longer, 8km300 of gone i 8km.300 of turn, is more complete and impressive, since you approach more to the walls, the precipicios of the rock cut are more impressive and go through some accesses hammered in the own stone.

This excursion meceré the penalty and a lot because you enjoy of a little common landscape, and the walls of the Noguera Ribagorçana are simply impressive.
