What to expect

Meet your technician at the designated point and gear up in neoprene and safety equipment. The route follows the riverbed deeper into the gorge, alternating between scrambling over wet rocks, swimming through pools, and rappelling down water-carved walls. The terrain is technical but managed—your guide handles rope systems and pacing. You'll get thoroughly wet and occasionally swept by water. The canyon itself is stunning: high walls, natural slides, and clear pools reflecting the rock overhead. The 4 hours includes setup, the actual descent, and return.
