Mazhar – Germany

Jorge was an Amazing Guide, we never felt unsafe or in danger in any way. The Arcos Canyon Tour was amazing and one of a kind. We will recommend him to others aswell. He patiently helped everyone and answered all the questions about the canyons History and amazing Geography. His expert level knowledge really impressed us. Thank you again for the nice eating and drinking tips! The Barraquito was amazing! :) Kind Regards Ali

Full description

Try something new and spend an active day outdoors on this canyoning excursion to La Arcos from Tenerife. Gear up in canyoning gear, then prepare to rappel down the orange canyon walls, take in the fresh air, and get unbeatable views of the landscape.
The approach to this dry canyon begins on a forest track with a gentle slope, where you’ll walk for about 45 minutes. The start of your descent begins with the first rappel of about 22 meters.
From here, you can begin to observe how the accumulation of volcanic ash and the erosion produced by the passing of time has naturally come together and formed this unique canyon.
The light playing against the moss-covered orange walls and creating various shades will undoubtedly be the main attraction during the entire descent.
After finishing 8 rappels, arrive at the Chimoche track to conclude your descent. Finish off your trip by making your way back to the starting point on an approximately 30-minute walk.

Meeting point
