Canyoning

There is no better way to appreciate
the beauty of the canyons than
walking, sliding, rolling and absailing
down waterfalls equipped with the
best ropes, harnesses and wetsuits

Duration: Day tour excursion
Cash Price From: US$ 65 all inclusive
         
Information

The group meets at Arassari Treks (our representative in Mérida) office at 9am on the day of the trip. After fitting on the suits we take a 30 minute jeep drive to the location from which you will be greeted by spectacular views of Mérida (perhaps the best available). After another 30 minutes walk, mainly downhill, to the site where the group will receive some abseil training. Then it is time for the adventure of your life !!!  There are several small "chutes" to slide down, a heart pounding 7- 8 meters natural hydro slide (where you may become airborne!!), and three powerful waterfalls to abseil (rappel) down including a 35 meters monster at the end. The trip will return around 4 pm (depending on numbers and speed). The actual time in the canyon is around 4 hours. Minimum driving – maximum adventure!
