This dry canyoning experience is designed for people who want to try canyoning without water sections or for those visiting during colder months. It is also suitable for anyone who cannot swim, with no previous experience required. The focus is on abseiling and moving through natural rock formations in a dry canyon environment.
Arrival at the meeting point is followed by a safety briefing and full equipment fitting before heading into the canyon area with your guide. At this stage, you can choose between two different dry canyon routes, and the guide will confirm suitability based on conditions and group ability.
Basender Canyon offers a steady introduction to abseiling with multiple descents up to around 15 metres. It moves through narrow limestone corridors, natural rock galleries and straightforward rope sections, making it ideal for building confidence with technique and progression.
Portiacha Canyon is more technical and shorter but includes fewer, larger abseils up to around 30–35 metres. The focus here is on more committed rope work with bigger drops and a slightly more exposed feel, while still being fully guided and controlled throughout.
Set within the Sierra de Guara region, these dry canyon routes sit in a landscape shaped by limestone cliffs, narrow gorges and long natural rock corridors. The environment remains dry throughout the season, making it suitable year-round for abseiling-focused canyoning.
The activity is based around the Lecina area, with easy access to both Basender and Portiacha canyons. The guide will take the group to the chosen route on the day, ensuring conditions and ability match the selected canyon experience.
A basic level of fitness is required, including the ability to walk on uneven ground and move comfortably in outdoor environments for several hours. No previous canyoning experience is needed.
Comfort with heights is important due to the abseiling sections, particularly in Portiacha where descents are longer and more exposed. This activity is also suitable for non-swimmers as there is no water involved.
Guides specialise in dry canyon environments and focus on building confidence with abseiling from the first descent. Clear instruction and step-by-step support are provided throughout the entire experience.
Both Basender and Portiacha are carefully selected based on conditions and group ability, with the guide helping you choose the most suitable option on the day. This ensures a safe but engaging introduction to dry canyoning with progression matched to comfort and skill.
