Get to know Cantabria with this canyoning in the Navedo river: an amazing introduction to canyoning.

Canyoning is an adventure sport that is practised in ravines or riverbeds carved by centuries of water erosion and other natural phenomena. Although several dry canyons can be found, most of them have water flow. This is one of the many reasons why it is incredibly fun and a very popular summer sport.

Cantabria, in the north of Spain, is the perfect region to discover this sport due to its many gorges and canyons. And without a doubt, the best place to start is the Rio Navedo canyon, located in the Desfiladero de La Hermida, one of the longest canyons in Spain.
