Explore the beautiful Zarzalones Gorge in Sierra de las Nieves on this fun and sportive canyoning excursion, less than an hour away from Malaga!

Considered by many as the most beautiful canyon in Malaga, the Zarzalones is filled with jumps, abseiling drops, and natural slides that the water has carved over the years.

The Zarzalones Canyon is located in the town of Yunquera, 1 hour away from Malaga city center. This small, but beautiful town is right in the heart of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, and you'll be able to explore a part of it on your canyoning excursion. You'll be able to choose between a private or an open group experience, so you can either experience this wonderful activity with only your loved ones or share it with other adventure seekers.

The water inside the Zarzalones canyon is rather cold and crystal clear. This is due to its origin, the Zarzalones cave, which has been studied for quite some time because of its particularity. Right at the entrance to this cave is where your canyoning excursion will begin!

The descent of the Zarzalones canyon is an amazing experience. Lots of fun and lots of cooling water is what you can expect from this canyoning experience. Thanks to the constant flow of water out of the cave, the Zarzalones canyon has a flow of water even in the summer!

This cayoning excursion through the Zarzalones Gorge will have a total length of 1900 meters, a difference in altitude of 215 meters, and waterfalls up to 27 meters tall! Additionally, while descending the canyon, you'll encounter jumps from 2 to 4 meters (all optional) and abseils of up to 27 meters which you will not be able to avoid, as well as carved pathways and natural waterslides.

This will be, without a doubt, one of the most fun and beautiful canyoning experiences you'll find in Malaga, so don't hesitate, and book your private or open group canyoning excursion down the Zarzalones Gorge, today!

Super cool (and partly cold) but all in all an amazing experience that really made you feel alive!

A good mix of walking, climbing, jumps and abseilen. In a very beautiful surrounding we walked down a riverbed, with lots of rocks to climb around, over or jump off! Guides were very friendly and calm, so you feel very safe with them. We will definitely do it again!

This guided canyoning tour was amazing! We learned to repel down the Canyon, waded and floated down the river, and got to jump of ledges into the river. Absolutely beautiful location. We loved this experience and would 100% do it again.

Svømme, kravle, klatre og rappelle. Du følger Rio Grande gennem jungle-lignende område. Du får våddragt, hjelm og klatregej udleveret fra starten, det kan anbefales at leje klatresko! Turen starter med en fysisk krævende vandretur op af bjerget, for at komme til startpunktet. Herfra dropper du i floden. Det er klart en fordel, hvis du har kendskab til klatring og rapelling, da du ikke kan tage denne tur uden mindst tre steder hvor dette er en forudsætning. Selve rapelling-delen foregår delvist i vandfald, hvilket er meget spændende. For vores team var en del af succesen, at du kan og tør! Vi var afsted med to voksne og to børn på 10 & 12 år. Turens succes afhænger af, at kan klare at være våde min 3,5 time og at de kan håndtere klatre/rappelle delen.

The river was a perfect balance of walking, jumping and sliding. This is perfect for beginners and experienced people!
