What to expect
You'll start with a safety briefing and gear check, then launch onto Class 1 water—stable, forgiving, designed for mixed abilities. As you drift downstream, your guide narrates the canyon's geology and ecology, pointing out plants and animals adapted to this microclimate. You'll beach at two caves and explore their rock art up close, with the guide explaining pigment techniques and theories about the artists. Expect a leisurely pace with plenty of stops for questions and photos. The whole experience feels more like guided discovery than adrenaline; you're paddling together, not fighting the current.
Good to know
Book ahead and confirm via WhatsApp that the group meets minimum numbers. Wear clothes you don't mind getting damp. Bring sun cream and water. The caves are cool even in summer, so a light layer helps.
