Canyoning in Leza canyon in Soto de Cameros

The lands of Rioja are much more than wine, here, we also find countless natural paradisiacal corners that protect the most exciting adventure. A great example is the Leza canyon, where we can do a initiation level canyoning route of 4 hours, in the town of Soto de Cameros, in the region of Camero Viejo.

A canyoning route that is perfect if you want to start that will give you high levels of fun and perfect excuse to direct all the energy you have accumulated while you contemplate the leafy and wild landscape that characterizes the canyon of the river Leza and that you can experience whenever you want because its riverbed usually carries water all year round, although if not, rest assured that you can have fun down its throats while practicing dry canyoning.

It turns out to be perfect for making your canyoning debut since almost all the obstacles that we will run into can be avoided if they do not inspire us a lot of confidence. To begin the descent of the Leza canyon we will go up the course of the river, finding a considerable amount of pools in which are not mandatory to dive in, although without a doubt, we recommend it, since its fresh and crystalline waters will give you an energy boost to continue, plus it is a really rewarding experience to swim in an environment like this one.

As we continue, we will come across a natural sinkhole that will change our setting into a dry, steep and stony stretch where we can find the odd water puddle, like an oasis. If you book this canyoning route in summer, you will see how small jumps are formed in our path from which we can rush and fun slides along this section.

Little by little we will see how the trails we will advance become narrower and narrower and after overcoming more natural pools we will be able to see the union with the Arroyo de Mudarra. Then, we will be happy to see really deep pools that we can enjoy with jumps from cliffs and stones that reach 2 meters and, that also, if they convey a lot of respect, we can avoid.

Soon we will reach an extensive 20-meter pool where we will swim and when we leave, our prize will await us for having chosen this canyoning route through the Leza canyon, because we will discover the mystical Fountes del Restauro, formed by 3 waterfalls that create a true paradise of peace and tranquility, where we will mitigate fatigue by swimming and jumping from the points that we most want.

We will continue advancing, having fun among pools and slides until we find ourselves immersed in gorges with immense walls through which the river passes and the paths of which ascends until we head to a quarry near the town of Leza, where our adventure ends.

A day of canyoning perfect to start with this sport, and with excitement, but without complications that make us back down when it comes to having fun and with which we will have everything ready, both materials and guides. Come and enjoy with friends or family what the Leza canyon wants to offer you.
