Activity Overview
Inachos Canyon is known for its size, beauty, and various descents. The canyon is divided into three sections, making it accessible for adventurers of all levels. During the wet season, the canyon flows with water, enhancing the adventure with natural water slides and jumps.
- First Section: Ideal for beginners and families, featuring small descents and easy navigation. It’s a perfect introduction to canyoning, allowing participants to experience the beauty of the canyon without any technical difficulties.
- Second Section: For those seeking a more challenging experience, the second section offers steeper descents, including the highlight of the canyon, a magnificent waterfall. The views and the descent through the waterfall make this section a must for thrill-seekers.
- Third Section: The most demanding part, this section is for experienced canyoners, with steep drops and high rappels, providing an adrenaline-pumping adventure.
Program Options
- Basic Program: A descent through the first section of the canyon, perfect for beginners or families looking for a fun and scenic adventure.
- Advanced Program: Combine sections 1 and 2 for a more challenging experience. The second section includes the stunning waterfall and more advanced rappelling techniques.
- Ultimate Program: For the most daring adventurers, descend through all three sections of the canyon. This program includes high rappels (up to 32 meters), jumps into natural pools, and exhilarating water slides. The full-day experience is unforgettable but requires excellent physical condition and canyoning skills.
Participants can choose the program that suits their abilities, and it is recommended to inquire about availability for the more advanced sections, as access depends on weather conditions and the group’s experience.

It was indeed a very beautiful activity. The temperature of the water was chilling enough to make us think twice prior entering a puddle full of water but the canyoning equipment provided to us, actually maintained our body temperature to some pretty normal levels. Overall it was a worth doing activity
