The experience
La Yerba Canyon sits in the Sierra Madre Occidental between Durango and Mazatlán, and the canyoning circuit here moves you through the stone slides and turquoise pools that make it different from a trail walk. You descend into the canyon's heart using the natural features themselves (the slides carry you down, the pools let you swim between sections) instead of rappelling or scrambling down loose rock. The route covers 220 hectares of the conservation project, and the vertical climbing comes on the way out, when you ascend a thin ridge that doubles as home to the Ara Militaris Macaws nesting in the canyon walls.
The day runs eight hours total. A live guide leads the group in English, Spanish, Italian or Polish and moves at a pace that keeps the activity steady but not rushed. Lunch and snacks come partway through. Bottled water, coffee and tea are available throughout. If you book with Durango transport, an air-conditioned vehicle picks you up and brings you back. If you arrange your own way to the park, you skip that leg and meet the group at La Pirámide.
