Activity description

A perfect way to get into the adrenaline-inducing sport of canyoning in Cantabria is heading out to Rio Navedo for an absolutely amazing canyoning introduction!

Canyoning is an adventure sport that's practised on ravines or river beds carved from centuries of water erosion and other natural phenomenons. Although you can find several dry canyons, most of them have water flow. This is one of the many reasons to why it's incredibly fun and a very popular summer sport.

As you make your way down a canyon, you'll be required to hike and overcome a series of natural obstacles along the path, jump into natural and crystal clear pools, slide on natural waterslides, and even abseil! For the Rio Navedo canyon, you don't require any previous experience, you just need to be ready for an amazing half-day connection with nature and to be comfortable in water.

The canyon of Rio Navedo is simply stunning! From the very beginning, you'll be amazed by the rocky landscapes offered by the Desfiladero de La Hermida, one of Spain's longest ravines.

Then, a series of abseils and waterslides will bring a smile to your face as you explore the canyon surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful landscapes!

Fue una aventura en toda regla, no habíamos hecho ninguno de los 4 amigos barranquismo y Javier nos enseñó muy bien y sobretodo nos dio mucha seguridad

  • 5 / 5

Era nuestra primera experiencia haciendo barranquismo y ya tenemos claro que repetiremos, seguro. Sobre todo con un instructor como Javier, todo un profesional. Nos gustó mucho también que sean grupos reducidos.

Zeer ervaren gids. Leuke, spannende en afwisselende onderdelen met glijden, springen en abseilen.. Niet te spannend voor kinderen vanaf 8 jaar!

Rio Navedo canyoning was amazing. The Guide was so professional and really friendly and warm. My wife and I had the best time and with his help managed abseiling and all sorts of activities that made us feel really satisfied... One of the highlights of our holiday to Northern Spain!

Canyoning with Havi the guide was a great experience. even though we had some first timers with fear of heights, Havi led us with much patience and confidence and made sure that even the most reluctant in our group felt safe and finished with a great smile on their faces.

Great canyoning experience in Picos de Europa. We were lucky to be at the end of the season, meaning we had a private guided tour. The weather was great, the scenery amazing.
