What a great day! - What an amazing day! Jorge was the perfect guide for this day in the canyon. He’s strong, safe and quite good at guiding you through an adventurous day.
This is for beginners to canyoning but it will stretch your understanding of what you think you are capable of. It’s exciting and challenging and beautiful.
Would highly recommend this tour if you are in good health. You don’t need to be in great shape, but in good health.
What a great day and experience!

A must do! - Absolutely recommendable trip!
Jorge is a professional leader and the spirit with this small group was great.
The beautiful, well shaped canyon feels like Petra in Jordan. The variety of Rappels is interesting even for more experienced “cliff hangers” ;-).
A must do on Tenerife!
Thanks Jorge

Fun activity in beautiful surroundings! - It was a perfect day canyoning with Jorge! The trip was fun and very manageable, even for us with no prior knowledge. Jorge was very patient and took good care of everyone. We felt safe the whole way and even got a taste for canyoning/rappelling. In addition, we also learned interesting facts along the way. The mountain formations were also incredibly beautiful and the guide took lots of nice photos along the way which he sent to us. Recommended!

Breathtaking location and professional guidance - Jorge is a professional guide with a good taste of humour. He knows a lot about geology, how the shapes of the canyon were formed and the whole hike was such a pleasure. Highly recommended!
