Excellent - must do! - Amazing activity and tour guide Jorge!!
This trip lasted 6-7 hours and we rappelled down 7 or more canyons. We felt completely safe and Jorge was brilliant at explaining all the relevant details e.g. safety tips, rappelling technique, facts about the canyon! He ensured he was aware of everyone’s physical capabilities and made adjustments to make sure everyone could hike and rappel comfortably. We recommend you wear long trousers and long sleeve shirts to avoid the stinging nettles and other things that can scratch you. Jorge was excellent and funny and we would return to canyon with him anytime!

Fantastic experience - This was a great trip for our family. We are in our 50s with two boy age 16 & 14. We are generally an active outdoor family but we had little experience in canyoning (i had none). The guide Jorge was brilliant, an expert, very knowledgeable and a great motivator, encourager and supporter. And spoke perfect English. We were in a small group of 8. Most of the others had significant experience but Jorge catered for us all enabling those with more experience to use more advanced skills descending.
Great experience. Great value for money. Would recommend to others

Not to be missed! - The guide, Jorge, was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He helped give me confidence and his technical skills to ensure we were all safe were very high.
Only 15 people can go into the canyon each day, so this is a real privilege.
This experience was the highlight of my holiday.

Amazing experience - My girlfriend and I went on this tour, even though we weren't beginners, and still had an amazing time! The entire hike is beautiful from start to finish. There is a fair amount of hiking involved. I would suggest adhering to the long pants recommendation, there are lots plenty of spots those will come in handy. Jorge was our guide and he did an amazing job. He is clearly knowledgeable about the area, he speaks great english, and was very easy to get along with.
