Where are the best canyons in Tenerife?

• Los Silos: in the northwest of the island you will find one of the most impressive canyons in Tenerife. If you are looking for an experience surrounded by nature and water, a trip to the Lomo Morín canyon is something you can't miss. We assure you you won't regret it. You'll be able to work on all of your abseiling skills here, as the route has a drop of 200 metres. But don't worry, it's a simple route and there are some rappels here that are not compulsory.

• Buenavista del Norte: just a few minutes' drive from the Lomo Morín canyon is Los Carrizales. This is just one of many aquatic canyons you'll find on the island, although we must advise that if you want to go canyoning here, it's highly recommended that you have experience in this sport. As well as being a long route (5 hours), you'll find a 600-metre drop and so the abseiling will be challenging - it won't be any walk in the park.

• La Orotava: very close to this municipality is the Los Arcos de Chimoche ravine. If this is your first time canyoning, don't hesitate over this option, because as well as discovering the impressive nature that makes up the face of the Teide volcano, you'll have a fantastic time thanks to the short jumps and 18-metre abseils. It's the best way to come and enjoy a day of canyoning with the family, as even the youngest members of the family will be able to get started in this little world in complete safety.

• Santiago del Teide: for those who like risk and real thrills, the Los Gigantes cliff is a must. And, as you can see, you won't be doing a typical canyoning descent here, but from a huge cliff that reaches a height of up to 600 metres. What's more, the best thing about doing this activity on the coast is that you'll have the chance to admire the best views of the Atlantic and you'll even be able to dive in once you've finished.

What kind of canyoning tours is there in Tenerife?

- Dry: most of the canyons you will find in Tenerife are located in dry terrain where these rocky environments have been formed over time. One of the favourites among those daring enough to try this sport for the first time is Los Arcos de Chimoche, as its abseiling descents through its volcanic tuff are barely steep at all. What's more, the best thing about this canyon is that you can learn about the geological history of this special place.

- Aquatic: if you are a lover of adventure sports and water activities, you can't miss the opportunity to go down the ravines where the water is always flowing. This is something that can make your journey much easier and much more fun. This is especially true from the natural slides and short jumps of the Lomo Morín canyon, where you can plunge into the most refreshing water and get to know the beauty of the Teno Rural Park. Believe us, this will make your experience unique and what's more, these canyons are perfect place to come with children for an unforgettable adventure.

- Coasteering: coasteering is considered a risky sport, but that's because many people don't know what it really is. It is practically the same as canyoning, but instead of going down canyons, the descent is made from cliffs. This activity is not suited to those who are afraid of heights, or at least not on this island, as here you can find cliffs up to 600 metres high. An example of this can be found in Los Gigantes, a place that was considered by the Guanches to be the border that marked the edge of the world, so just imagine what your experience will be like!

Who can do a canyoning experience in Tenerife?

We must inform you that, although canyoning is an activity suitable for everyone, there are still certain requirements that must be met. For example, age. We know that this is something that the youngest members of the family can get excited about, but they won't be able to join in the adventure until they are 7 years old. In addition, physical conditions are also important, as it is essential that anyone who wants to go canyoning must be agile enough to take part.

But if you are worried about not having previous experience and not knowing too much about this sport, canyoning has different levels depending on the type of canyon you facing. As we have already mentioned, the dry descent of Los Arcos de Chimoche canyon is perfect for children and for anyone who wants to get started in the world of canyoning, and even the aquatic ones, such as Lomo Morín. Even though for some, the water is an obstacle, for others it is a great help to slide down the rock without it being dangerous. Furthermore, it is much more fun and the heights reached are not too much, because they are usually follow horizontal routes.

Although, if you are already a professional, you can choose canyoning routes with a higher level of difficulty. We've already covered the Los Carrizales canyon, where you'll find some 600-metre rappels that will leave you speechless. And if you want to feel the real adrenaline and go one step further, coasteering in Los Gigantes is something you can't miss, especially because the island's cliffs are one of its most outstanding features.

This is just an example, so, depending on your level or what you want to experience at the moment, you are sure to find a canyon that perfectly suits your ability level. You can even sign up for a course to improve all your techniques and feel real confidence whenever you go canyoning, thanks to the instructors who are there to help you at all times.

What do I need to do canyoning tour in Tenerife?

To be able to go canyoning in complete safety, it is essential that you have special equipment to avoid any kind of accident. You should be aware that when you are climbing and descending volcanic terrain, it is always possible that a stone may come loose due to the movement of the water or the steps you take. For this reason, it is obligatory to wear a neoprene suit that protects your whole body and has thermal insulation, because, although the temperature on the island is always pleasant, believe us that the water in the mountains can freeze. It will also be necessary to wear a protective helmet in case anything happens, comfortable and adherent footwear, and all the necessary harnesses, clips and safety equipment.

We're sure that you can't wait to come and enjoy this experience in Tenerife and that your canyoning here will be something you will never forget! So, don't wait any longer - choose a destination and join us on this new adventure!
