Detailed description

Canyoning in Tenerife - Canyoning in the heart of the Teno Nature Park

For all who are looking for action and adventure on holiday, this unique canyon hike is made in the west of Tenerife. Canyoning is a sporting practice consisting of progression through canyons or ravines, stream courses, on foot and/or swimming, with ropes. You will master a gorge from top to bottom, rope from rocks, jump into the water from different heights, slide down on natural water rides and swim through the crystal-clear mountain water.

The Barranco Los Carrizales is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Tenerife, situated in the middle of the Teno massif and not far from the cliffs of Los Gigantes. Only one path leads into the valley of the Carrizales Gorge - the one via canyoning. Permission to enter the canyon must be obtained from the tour guide. Only 15 people are allowed to experience this spectacular area daily. This will make your canyoning adventure on Tenerife even more unique.

The canyon is suitable for people with previous experience in mountaineering or similar activities. Participants need adventure and physical fitness. Both for the descent, which can last between 3 and 5 hours depending on the size of the group. But above all for the way back, which takes 1.5 to 2 hours back to the entry point into the canyon and sometimes knows only one direction: upwards. Those who follow this course should enjoy heights and be free of vertigo.

The tour lasts about 6 to 7 hours with arrival and departure, whereby the speed is always adapted to the speed of the slowest participant. Please think of provisions for lunch and sufficient water (at least 1 litres). You will receive a dry bag for your things. All equipment is included in this offer. This includes a wetsuit, a helmet as well as ropes and belts.

On the route through the canyon you can expect some jumps - these can be avoided by abseiling. The canyon is located at the extreme western corner of Tenerife, not far from a small farming village in the Teno nature reserve, where you will find traditional cave houses that are still inhabited. Look forward to the wild side of Tenerife and a real adventure in the midst of this fabulous landscape. You are so close to nature with only a few holiday activities. And you will see things at Tenerife Canyoning that remain hidden to others.
