About this tour

A four-hour canyoning adventure through Sima del Diablo in the Serranía de Ronda, where the Zúa river carves through the Genal valley. This accessible introduction to canyoning suits beginners—no prior experience needed. You'll navigate natural rock slides and abseil past cascading water, culminating in the signature 12-metre Devil's Leap. The terrain sits at moderate difficulty, blending technical skill with wild canyon scenery.

Highlights

  • Natural stone slides and multi-pitch abseils
  • Devil's Leap: 12-metre waterfall descent
  • Beginner-friendly, no experience required
  • Dramatic Genal valley canyon setting
  • Professional gear and safety insurance included
  • Scenic route through Mediterranean terrain

What to expect

You'll start geared up with harness, helmet, and rope, learning basic techniques before entering the ravine proper. The canyon narrows as you descend, alternating between short climbs over moss-covered stone and controlled rappels beside flowing water. Rock slides offer a gentler momentum break; waterfalls provide exhilarating abseils. The Devil's Leap—a straight drop into a plunge pool—demands focus but rewards it. Expect wet boots, cool air, and tight passage work. A guide leads throughout, placing anchors and managing group pace.

Good to know

Moderate fitness is essential; swimming ability helps but isn't mandatory. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Bring a change of clothes and secure footwear that grips wet rock. The group receives a photo report of the day. Transport to the site is not included.
