Your adrenaline-filled adventure will start with a short 15-minute drive, going from the agency to the waterfalls. We will give you the necessary equipment, and after a 20-minute walk, we’ll arrive at the top of the canyon. There, the guide will give you an explanation and a demonstration on how to use the equipment, as well as some safety instructions.
To practice, we will start on a small waterfall (our route has 5 waterfalls, ranging from 8 to 35 metres in height).
After practicing, we will descend waterfalls of different heights, doing some rappelling and sliding. We will use a waterproof camera and give you the most amazing pictures after the tour. Finally, we will collect the equipment from you, and return to Baños.

What is Canyoning?
Canyoning is an unforgettable outdoor experience. It is not just a water sport, it’s adventure, it’s nature, it’s fun! Navigate your way down steep canyons by abseiling and jumping waterfalls and cliffs, cascading down natural chutes, and swimming through crystal-clear pools. 80% of the time is spent in the water!
Who can do Canyoning?
Everyone, except for children under 9 years old, people with physical problems or disabilities, or pregnant women.
Can I bring my camera / video camera?
A general rule of thumb is don't bring anything you would be devastated to lose. Video cameras and still cameras will get wet, and most likely ruined. A good idea is a disposable waterproof camera.
Do I need to know how to swim?
We always go by the rule “safety first”, so we provide you with life-vest and carry a rescue tube - in this way you will have buoyancy and will feel comfortable and safe in the water.
