Frequently asked questions

What does "dry canyoning" actually mean?
Dry canyoning means the canyon has no water, or very little. Instead of swimming through pools, you descend through volcanic rock channels using rappels, scrambles and downclimbs. Los Arcos in Chimoche, Tenerife, is a classic dry canyon carved by ancient lava flows.
What is the most intense moment of the tour?
The rappel sections are the adrenaline peaks: you descend vertical volcanic rock faces on a rope, with the canyon walls tight around you. The guide from Outdoor Activities Tenerife manages all the rigging.
Is this suitable if I have never done canyoning before?
Yes. The physical level is listed as "Everybody welcome", and the 5-hour format gives guides time to teach rope technique and movement on rock before the harder sections.
What is the best time of year to do this?
Canyoning in Tenerife runs from May through September. Dry canyons like Los Arcos are accessible outside that window too, but guided tours are reliably scheduled during those months.
