About the activity

The Rio Verde is located in the south of Granada, in Otivar, a 40-minute drive from Nerja. The river is also known as the River Guadix, as it is the most important town through which it flows. The Rio Verde canyon is part of the Natural Park of the Sierra de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama, a place filled with amazing biodiversity.

Having the opportunity to book this canyoning excursion in Otivar is a privilege. You will be able to enjoy the wonderful beauty that the Río Verde has to offer by entering its waterfalls and natural pools. The colour of the water that gives its name to this Green River has become a tourist attraction for lovers of adventure sports, as well as for those who are just starting out or simply looking for a fun activity in the middle of a natural environment.

The professional canyoning guides of Gualay Aventura offer you two different options to explore the Río Verde canyon, depending on the difficulty you are looking for. You will have the chance to choose the option that best suits your experience and feel as safe as possible in this canyoning adventure around the Río Verde in Otivar.

If you are going on holiday to Granada and you are looking for a different experience, you have the opportunity to get to know an -almost- unexplored corner of southern Spain. Canyoning down the Río Verde in Otivar is the perfect option, as you will enjoy this wonderful place while climbing, abseiling, and jumping into its "green" waters.

Book your canyoning experience at the Río Verde gorge, in Otivar and sign up for a day of sportive fun with an incredible background!

Just the right level of scary, rewarding, and fun. Raul was a great guide that even provided enough reassurance for my wife to jump off a cliff into a rock pool.

Rio verde is a wonderful area; the hike up is already a pleasure, the canyoning down is spectacular; beautiful sights, cool jumps, rapids and slide throughs.

Very nice canyoning tour. You need to be some kind of fit to do it, and have strong ankles.
