El Sord canyon

Challenge your limits with the Sord Canyon: the perfect opportunity for thrill seekers who want to overcome the simplest and most familiar canyons!

If the simpler and more familiar canyons seem a bit boring to you, the Sord canyon is a great opportunity to put you in trouble. You’ll be travelling along a fairly vertical and dry route that will allow you to practise abseiling like never before.

This canyon is located in the town of Abdet and to get there you only have to take the CV-70 road from near Benidorm, taking you directly to the town in the Guadalest valley.

You can also take advantage of the trip to enjoy the Mela or Abdet canyon, making for an intense and fun day of active tourism. Both canyons can be combined and will allow you to get a great experience in canyoning.

The Sord canyon

It is a dry canyon, although in times of heavy rainfall it is likely to be found with water. It is excavated in calcareous rock, making the route very enjoyable and beautiful. In terms of its route, it is a vertical canyon that will add a little difficulty for those who have already overcome some easier ones.

The Sord ravine begins with several short rappels that will allow you to warm up your descent technique, and then you will come across two others of 15 and 25 metres. The first has a pool of water below, which can be easily avoided with a bit of swinging. The second is cantilevered, which means you will have to descend without support on the wall.

Before reaching the end of the canyon, there are a couple of easy abseils. Throughout the whole route you will enjoy a cannoneered itinerary, which, together with the appearance of the limestone rock, is sure to become one of your favourites.

In terms of difficulty, it is recommended that you only do it with adults, as the longer abseils can be quite complicated for young people, as they are demanding and perhaps not as experienced to advance in certain situations. Even so, once you’ve completed it, you’ll find yourself capable of anything.

At the end of the Sord ravine, it leaves us in the Mela ravine, so you can continue along it after a well-deserved rest or return to the meeting point and finish the activity.
