Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the excursion?
The rappels down the canyon walls are the adrenaline peak of the descent. You're controlling your own drop, with rock face close and water below. The guides from Adrenaline Adventure manage safety lines throughout.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy it?
A healthy respect for heights helps, but the excursion is rated open to everyone. The guides walk you through each abseil step by step before you commit.
How cold is the water in Barranco de Guaria?
Water temperature in the canyon varies by season. Going between May and September gives you warmer conditions. Expect to get fully wet regardless, which is part of the experience.
How long does the full experience last?
The excursion runs 4 hours from start to finish, including briefing, the canyon descent and exit. Factor in travel time to the meeting point in Guía de Isora.
