How to choose

All 5 canyoning tours in Cangas de Onís run 50,60 € and last a half day or 4h, so the real decision comes down to your fitness level and the canyon you want to tackle. Two options are rated "Everybody welcome": the Rubo River Gorge and Vallegon canyon, both at 50 €, ideal if this is your first time in a gorge. Three tours carry a higher physical demand: La Molina and Vallegón Canyon are "Occasionally sporty", while the Viboli Gorge steps it up to "Sporty" at 60 €. If intensity is your benchmark, go for Viboli. If you're bringing someone new to canyoning, book the Rubo River Gorge or Vallegon with Jaire Aventura or Los Cauces and start moving.
