Canyoneering à purcaraccia - Bavella

canyoning is an action sport made of river descent in a natural and changing environment, overcoming a series of obstacles: like swimming, diving, sliding, abseils on waterfalls…

Canyoning brings you to match a sporty and funny activity, rich in sensations, with the pleasure to discover magnificent landscapes. The Bavella peaks, the clear and fresh rivers, the natural swimming pools, the waterfalls, the caves and the Bavella woods with their Laricio pines…

During a half-day we will introduce you to several levels of difficulty for a funny and fit-for-family activity, under the guidance of our expert and qualified guides. You only need to be able to swim! 

Stunning sites to experience canyoning, as la Vacca, Purcaraccia and Pulischellu.

Let’s come to experience the living waters in the Bavella mountains, the best site to experience canyoning in Corsica.
