Two ways to experience canyoning
Aquatic and dry canyons in Valencia
In Valencia, you can choose between aquatic canyons with waterfalls, pools, jumps and natural slides, or take on a dry canyon where abseiling and vertical terrain become the main features of the descent.
Water, waterfalls, jumps and abseils
Aquatic canyoning in Valencia
Gorgo de la Escalera, Otonel and Barranco del Nacimiento offer three very different ways to enjoy aquatic canyoning in Valencia. Their routes combine water, abseils, jumps and natural slides in spectacular surroundings where waterfalls and pools are part of the experience.
But aquatic canyoning does not necessarily mean an easy descent: Gorgo de la Escalera is a beginner-friendly option from the age of 8, while Otonel and Nacimiento are advanced canyons for participants aged 14 and over, designed for those looking for a more demanding experience.
Abseils, rock and vertical terrain
Dry canyoning in Valencia
If you prefer an experience focused on moving through rocky terrain and using rope techniques, Barranco de Fondo, also known as dels Morts, offers a dry canyon of medium difficulty where abseiling sets the pace of the descent.
Over approximately 5 hours, you’ll tackle a route with 9 abseils, including a spectacular 65-metre descent. It offers a very different experience from the aquatic canyons and is particularly suited to those who enjoy vertical terrain.
