Details
The Bras Rouge canyon is the ultimate aquatic canyon, taking its source in the heart of the ancient crater of the Piton des Neiges and offering amazing colors! Practicable from 13 years old, you can abseil, slide along natural slides or jump (optional) in pure water. You can even choose to spice up your abseil sections or make them easier, thanks to different techniques.
Tour programme
- Preparation:
We meet at 8 am to brief you on the upcoming adventure and show you our high-quality equipment. After a 20-min drive to the canyon car park, we will gear up.
- Tour:
A 45-minute approach walk takes you through tropical jungle scenery followed by a rocky corridor, then a short aerial part will make you abseil down 25m. It is then that the aquatic part starts, full of watered recalls and jumps.
- Arrival:
After these 3hrs spent in the canyon, we leave the canyon as we arrive at our starting point, where you can share this experience with your group.
