Description

Equipped with high-quality canyoning gear, the tour begins with a transfer by minibus to the canyon's starting point. Certified guides provide a detailed safety briefing to prepare you for the adventure ahead.

The canyon route starts with a descent past a wooden bridge followed by a 5-meter abseil, guided and demonstrated by your instructor. The canyon narrows as you progress, with waterfalls echoing off rock walls. You will abseil through the Devil’s Hole then continue with a 9-meter abseil and optional jumps and slides.

The course includes various challenges such as a 5-meter slide, 2-meter jump, 9-meter slide, and winding water basins, culminating in a 15-meter high-speed natural rock slide carved by water over millennia.

After a break, the final section features a 7-meter descent where you choose to abseil, slide, or jump. The tour concludes with an exit via a secured steel cable and a return to the base center.
