Canyoning in Medellín: Rappel down mountain waterfalls

Descend waterfalls in a neoprene suit, fueled by fresh coffee and pure adrenaline

Canyoning in Medellín is a 3.5-hour activity where you rappel down waterfalls in the mountains outside the city, using full safety equipment and a live guide. The experience includes a technical briefing, neoprene suit, canyoning gear, coffee or tea, and a typical lunch with vegan and vegetarian options. Children from age 8 are welcome, and guides speak English, Spanish or Italian.

The experience

You spend 3.5 hours descending a series of waterfalls using ropes and rappelling equipment, moving through mountain terrain and natural pools. The guide starts with a technical talk about the gear and how to use it safely, then leads you through the canyoning itself: lowering yourself down rock faces, swimming through water-filled sections, and navigating the natural landscape. A neoprene suit keeps you warm in the water. All canyoning equipment is provided.

The day breaks into three parts: the introduction and safety briefing, the active canyoning descent through the waterfalls, and a lunch break with typical cold cuts, vegan options and vegetarian options. Coffee or tea is served before you start. Public transportation options are available near the meeting point, so you can reach the site without a private transfer.
