Great experience with Paul at the Vauchelet. Top equipment, very safe and experienced. The canyon is magnificent. The return walk is physically demanding but it's definitely worth it. Thank you for this great day!

Highly recommended! Canyoning in the middle of the tropical forest, almost untouched nature. Several passages for abseiling and jumping, some over 10 meters high. This trip is only advisable for healthy and sporty people, especially the ascent after canyoning is extremely steep and strenuous. Our guide Raphaël also seems to be interested in the local botany and has explained some interesting facts to us during the trip.
An absolute must for adventurers.
