CANYONING in Colombia

Canyoning Medellín

To go Canyoning in Medellín with Guanabana’s expert team is to experience the sensation of being enveloped by a real live waterfall while you rappel down a spectacular rock face. These waterfalls are carved out of the deep green jungle mountainsides. There’s no other feeling like that of nature’s primordial element falling over your head and body enveloping you completely as you work the ropes in the most beautiful tropical scenery you can imagine. A true way to feel and enjoy one of nature’s forces.
