Descrizione
Experience the thrill of canyoning in Gran Canaria with a guided descent of the Barranco de las Vacas. Rappel down the canyon and enjoy the views of the Las Tobas de Colores.
Take on the full canyoning descent of Barranco de las Vacas in Agüimes, Gran Canaria—one of the island’s most photographed landscapes. This guided route combines an easy-to-learn introduction to rope technique with a big finale: a rappel that ends directly in the Las Tobas de Colores tourist canyon, right in front of the viewpoint visitors.
After meeting your certified guide, you’ll start with a safety briefing and gear check. Then you’ll hike approximately 30 minutes on a steep approach trail to reach the canyon’s upper section. The descent covers about 600 meters and includes 6 rappels. The first three are short and confidence-building, designed for first-time canyoners. The final three are steeper and more exciting, adding progression and a clear sense of achievement as you move deeper into the canyon.
The highlight comes at the end, when you rappel down into the famous colored rock corridor—an unforgettable “wow” moment that makes this route stand out. Expect a dry-canyon adventure focused on movement, geology, and technique, with plenty of guidance at every step. No previous canyoning experience is required, but you should feel comfortable with moderate activity and heights.
