Take a break from the crowded streets of Madrid and plunge into refreshing nearby canyons! Swapping the city center for the gorges of the Duratón river, you’ll find a perfect natural venue for an action-packed aquatic adventure. Brace yourself for a charged canyoning descent brimming with everything from energizing waterfalls and fun 30-ft slides, to more technical vertical rappels spanning 100-ft granite walls. Jump, scramble, and swim surrounded by gorgeous river scenery and get to know what makes barranquismo (canyoning) one of the most exciting water sports. Join your guide and discover the adventurous side of Madrid.

Very nice experience with Dreampeaks. We had a guide who made sure everything was secure and safe. Very professional. Besides that it was an adventure to experience the canyoning in such a nice surroundings. Would really recommend this for an alternative trip outside the busy center of Madrid when visiting.
