The essentials

Tabei Adventures runs one half-day canyoning session through the Río Duratón Gorge, priced at 50 €. The "Everybody welcome" physical level means no prior experience is required, and guides speak both Spanish and English. This is a solid entry point into technical canyoning: expect rappels, jumps and natural pools carved into limestone canyon walls. Book directly with Tabei Adventures and confirm your spot at least a few days in advance, as group sizes are typically limited.

Frequently asked questions

No. Tabei Adventures rates this tour as 'Everybody welcome', so complete beginners are fine. Guides lead the group through each technical section.
What is the most intense moment of the descent?
Rappelling down the wet cliff faces of the Río Duratón Gorge is typically the peak adrenaline moment, combining the exposure of the canyon walls with the cold water at the base.
How cold is the water in the canyon?
The Río Duratón runs through shaded limestone gorges, which keeps water temperatures noticeably cold even in summer. The season runs from May to September, and water is coldest at the start and end of the season.
How long does the activity last?
The session covers a half day. Plan your travel around a morning or afternoon slot and confirm the exact start time with Tabei Adventures when booking.
