Description

Have you ever tried canyoning? It is a wonderful activity that allows you to jump, swim, hike and explore a natural area all at the same time. Come on this program in southern Spain, and you’ll have the chance to try it!

I would like to invite you to join me on this canyoning excursion in Paterna del Río, a municipality in the Almería province of Andalusia. We’ll contemplate beautiful landscapes while we enjoy this exhilarating activity!

The itinerary has a duration of around 3-4 hours. During the descent, we’ll find many sections in which we’ll have to rappel. If you don’t have a lot of experience, you don’t need to worry. This canyon will allow us to improve our rappelling skills and, by the end of the day, you’ll master the technique completely.

This program offers you the chance to learn about canyoning in the best way possible: by practicing! That’s why it is not necessary to have prior experience. I’ll teach you everything you need to make the best out of this experience. However, it is important to have a good fitness level.

So, would you like to take part in this canyoning program in Almería? Then all you have to do is get in touch with me by sending your request. It will be a pleasure to guide you on this fantastic adventure!

If you are looking for more canyoning trips, I also offer this program in Sierra Nevada National Park, near Almería. Check it out!

Mountain Guide

I'm a lover of adventure sports, with 23 years of experience in almost all its modalities. My passion is climbing, although my profession is more focused on another of my passions: the canyoning. I'm ICOpro Instructor (the only one in Spain), which allows me to join my two passions, sport and teaching.
I have climbed and done canyoning in many countries of the world like Indonesia, Morocco, Argentina, France, Switzerland and India. And what my travels have truly taught me is that what really matters is the people and what they can teach me. I learn from each of the people I lead and I love that.

What people are saying about Rafael

Excellente journée avec nos deux hôtes. Les paysages sont époustouflants et les guides ont rendu l’activité accessible et amusante. Merci!

Es hat wirklich viel Spaß gemacht! Und auch wenn ich etwas ängstlich bin, habe ich mich immer sicher und in guten Händen gefühlt. Die Sprünge sind wirklich nicht verpflichtend, aber die Gruppe ("La Familia") hat mir Mut gemacht und ich habe mir alles zugetraut :) Man kann auch immer erst einmal schauen, wie es die anderen machen ;) Die Guides geben einem stets die Möglichkeit, einen anderen Weg zu gehen. Das war jedoch nicht nötig. Wichtig: Unbedingt die Packliste ansehen! Schuhe für's Wasser sind verpflichtend und Wechselschuhe für danach sind wirklich gut. Wenn der Van geparkt hat, geht's in Badesachen etwa 45min bergauf bevor man die Wetsuits anzieht und das Canyoning startet. Good to know: Die Guides haben eine wasserfeste GoPro dabei, um Fotos von der Tour und der Gruppe in Action zu machen ;)

Booked half day Via Ferrata - it turned out to be 1.5 hours via Ferrata and 1.5 hours travelling. Was disappointed with the amount of time actually doing the activity

More information required from Rafa before the trip - we did not know that we would have to drive for 30 mins off-road to get to the start point. We were in a hire car and I was very concerned about damaging the car. We also had 21 people in our group - this is far too many. The trip took about 7 hours because we moved so slowly with so many people.

Rafa, is a terrific guide. My family had a fantastic time on the via feratta route he took us on in Archidona. I found Rafa to be professional, friendly, client-centered and safe. You will have to initiate the majority of the contact, but the experience is likely to be the highlight of your trip to southern Spain. I plan on recontacting Rafa when we are next in the area. He provides all the needed equipment.
