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.

Rappelling Down Waterfalls

Furthermore, we provide you with, helmets, gloves, a thorough briefing and a hands-on guide and instruction throughout.

We have three different canyoning spots!

  • One of those involves jungle trekking and abseiling down two 90º vertical waterfall rock faces, 36 meters (120 ft) and 42 meters (140 feet) each. This is a 1-hour and 20-minute drive from Medellín, in the town of Cocorná.
  • The other one is combined with a visit to Guatapé and the Rock of El Peñol. Guatapé is 1-hour 45-minute drive from Medellín, then the canyoning is 20-minutes away from Guatapé towards the town of San Rafael. This one lasts ~3.5 hours and involves jumping into pools, sliding, and short rappells.
  • And the third one is in the town of San Carlos, about 2.5 hours from Medellín, and lasts about ~4 hours, with jumping into pools, rappelling, zip lining, and sliding.
