Although Guadalmina is our best choice for begginers we also have a nice canyon´s selection for families that want a more challenging experience: Sima del Diablo (Málaga) sided to Smurf´s white village and surrounded of a beautiful natural environment, Buitreras (Málaga) a gorgeous canyon located on the white village of El Colmenar de la Frontera and Rio Verde 2nd Pitch (Granada) with an incredible landscape and challenging activity, perfect for sporty families.
In addition to the great recreational component of the activity, we focus the output so that children and young people can take great lessons and that can serve them in future experiences; how to progress safely in this terrain, how to perform jumps and rappels correctly, create confidence (…). From a geological and natural point of view Guadalmina offer an impressive environment to the young-child to take home great discoveries and unforgettable memories.

Perfect Canyon for Families or Friends
It is our most popular and requested activity as is the ideal canyoning for groups of friends, families and for those who want to do a half day program (3 hours). From June 15th to September 15th we do this canyon trip every day with open groups and special offers or, if you prefer, we can do private groups (open groups are between 6 and 9 participants, private 1 to unlimited).
In this wonderful natural surroundings, you will learn the basic progression techniques for canyoning accessible to all. This canyon is also adaptable to those who want additional adrenaline experience with jumps up to 6 meters (not mandatory) to deep pools in an idyllic location surrounded by mountains. Those who still don´t feel daring enough for the small jumps, will be able to opt for a fun toboggan, and abseiling of 5 metres or just swimming along the different pools (…). As we make progress, the gorge will narrow showing us a landscape we could never have imagined.

Sima del Diablo (Málaga) and the Smurf Town
If you have already enjoyed the Guadalmina canyoning trip in Benahavis village, and would like to try another level 1 canyon, 3 hours, with a 9 metres rapel, this is the best option.
Located in the valley of the Genal next to Ronda, is a canyon that runs through a thick riverbank forest. You will find three rappels, the largest of 9 meters and a slide of 5 metres. This canyon does not have so many jumps as Guadalmina (also level 1, 1.5) but it still adventurous a completely different environment nature.
The village, next to Sima del Diablo, where is the meeting point is called Juzcar but most of the people know it as The Smurfs Village. All the houses, Town hall, even church and cemetery are painting in bleu colour and there is many wall painting of smurfs, mushrooms (…).
But why? This was the village chosen by Sony Pictures in 2011 to promote their ‘The Smurfs’ movie in 3D. After the successful impact of tourism in this white mountain town, the citizens decided to keep the blue colour on their houses and become a major tourist attraction specially for families, children and curious.
Perfect Canyon for Families
This is a canyoning with a little more technical level than Guadalmina as regards the rappels that are higher (Guadalmina 1 of 5 meters). For the rest it continues having the same physical level with about 3 hours of activity. For this reason, it is still the perfect trip for families and children, as Guadalmina is, but here we recommend for children from 8 years old.
After this canyoning tour, you may want to stop at the Smurf town and have refreshments, tapas or lunch at its restaurants.
Ronda is also nearby (22 km) so, after lunch, is a good idea to go to visit this city or perhaps do the via ferrata in the Tajo de Ronda (see our canyoning + via ferrata pack).
