About the experience
The tour begins with a 1–1.5-hour approach to the canyon entrance. The route then follows a deep and narrow gorge through technical rope descents, clear pools and sections with optional jumps.
One of the main highlights is a spectacular 33-metre waterfall descending into a crystal-clear pool. Jumps are not mandatory and are adapted to the participants and current conditions.
Once inside the canyon, early exit is almost impossible. Participants must therefore be prepared to complete the full route and spend several hours moving through demanding terrain.
