- Mirador de La Bermeja - Prior to commencing the activity, a skilled canyoning guide will equip participants with the necessary gear for the descent and provide a concise briefing on the technical instructions for progression and safety guidelines.
The journey to this canyon starts on a picturesque forest path, surrounded by Canary pine trees, where participants will walk for approximately 45 minutes. The descent begins with an initial rappel of around 22 meters.
Once in the canyon, participants will descend several different rappels using ropes, with each rappel offering a unique adventure requiring various techniques.
Throughout the tour, participants will have the opportunity to observe how the accumulation of volcanic ash, combined with erosion over the years, has formed this stunning canyon with its orange and yellow hues.
After completing the 7-8 different rappels, participants will reach another forest path that leads to the end of the activity, following a hike of about 20 minutes.

Book for a safe & fun adventure! - We booked this trip to go canyoning (Los Arcos trip) - btw, we booked directly on his website with a nice discount too. We understood in advance everything we needed to bring (water, snacks, clothes, etc.) and got to know the meeting point/time. From there, everything went smoothly. It was a super half-day adventure, with a nice hike/walk to begin and end the trip - and in the middle, it was super fun canyoning activities. Safety was emphasized and so was the whole experience.
Don't forget to look UP at the beautiful nature!! Jorge was so kind and caring, and the other trip-goers were great too. We were 7 in total.
As a bonus the weather was PERFECT. Great vibes all around.
Thanks, Jorge, we had the best time!!
Highly recommend this company.

10/10 Experience for active adventurers - This experience was FANTASTIC! I'd like to do canyoneering of every trip from now on. Our guide was amazing, fun, knowledgable, and ensured everyone's safety. The pace of the hike and canyoneering moments was great and customizable to the group's needs. I'd definitely say you need some level of fitness and agility. And you absolutely need good hiking shoes.

Unique journey into the mountain - This was one of the most fun trips we did on our holiday. Jorge is an amazing guide who clearly loves his job. He made everyone in the group feel comfortable and confident as we made our way down the canyon. Our family, with a range of skills, all enjoyed the trip! Highly recommended!!!

Unforgettable Experience - First time canyoning and Jorge was the best guide! We’re an active couple in our 50’s traveling with like minded friends. Prior to starting the adventure, Jorge thoroughly discusses safety protocols and has everyone practice. Jorge patiently guides each person into position at each point and ensures you feel safe and secure. Jorge has extensive knowledge about Tenerife, the canyon, and local flora. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again or any tour with Jorge! It was an unforgettable experience!

Review - Spectacular place, prepared and friendly guide. There's a bit of walking before and after the actual canyoning, but it's worth it. Bring suitable shoes!!

Some tips for first timers - Beautiful and stunning canyon, Jorge is amazing and very knowledgeable! Can’t recommend enough.
A few tips for any potential travellers:
Bring hiking boots - We thought that the footwear recommendations were just to stop people showing up in flip flops but you really do need a pair of hiking/climbing shoes. I’m sure Jorge wouldn’t mind telling you if your shoes are ok or not if you send him a picture.
Bring a coat - A lightweight one is probably best, something that’ll keep the warm in.
Rent a car - We arrived by taxi and the hotel assured us we’d have no trouble finding one to take us back however you’re literally on the side of a mountain. There’s barely any people at all and we would’ve been stuck if not for a kind member of our group giving us a lift into Santa Cruz!
Can’t wait to do it again next year!

Excellent - must do! - Amazing activity and tour guide Jorge!!
This trip lasted 6-7 hours and we rappelled down 7 or more canyons. We felt completely safe and Jorge was brilliant at explaining all the relevant details e.g. safety tips, rappelling technique, facts about the canyon! He ensured he was aware of everyone’s physical capabilities and made adjustments to make sure everyone could hike and rappel comfortably. We recommend you wear long trousers and long sleeve shirts to avoid the stinging nettles and other things that can scratch you. Jorge was excellent and funny and we would return to canyon with him anytime!
