Without a doubt, the dry canyon of Puerto Ramos is a magnificent option to test your physical and technical limits in a wild and unfrequented natural environment.

On the day of the expedition, a masterclass will be given by our expert canyoning technicians. They will guide you through this experience teaching you all the tricks and rope manoeuvres to become an expert canyoner.

Topography and approach: Puerto Ramos consists of 7 consecutive rappels up to 26m high in an environment surrounded by majestic limestone rock faces.
