Overview

We work only with certified local guides, ensuring your safety and an authentic experience. In addition, throughout the tour we capture photographs and videos at the most spectacular points, so that you can enjoy the adventure while we take care of the memories.

The Matacanes Canyon is considered the most epic canyoning experience in Mexico: 20 km of tour with more than 25 jumps to turquoise pools, natural rock slides, swimming in caves and underground rivers, and two abseiling descents by waterfalls (27 m and 18 m). A perfect combination of adrenaline, nature and local culture in the Sierra de Santiago.
