Highlights
  • E.E.S.S. SIERRA DE LAS NIEVES - Special price: every Thursday from 15 June to 15 September for 4 people or more.

Zarzalones is a beautiful canyon located in the heart of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, only 50 minutes from Mijas and 1 hour from Malaga city centre.
It is one of the great options to do one of the best canyoning in the province of Malaga, along with Guadalmina, Buitreras or Ronda. It is situated very close to the white village of Yunquera and has year round flow.

With about 4 hours of activity it is suitable for children from 9 years old and for adults with medium physical level. This experience begins at the source of the Rio Grande, a beautiful spring that springs from a large cave also called Zarzalones where green, pure and crystalline waters flow. From this point we will follow the course of the river, finding two jumps of up to 4 metres in crystal clear pools and three rappels of 8, 10 and 21 metres.

We will finish this adventure at the same point where we started the approach path to the beginning of the canyon.

Amazing Family Adventure - I highly recommend this amazing and beautiful adventure. Our group of 8 was 5 adults and 3 kids with an age range from 9 to 48 years. Everyone had a blast. The crystal clear, cool (12 C!) water was so refreshing and beautiful. The river and waterfalls were spectacular and our whole group was in awe of the beauty and fun it provided. Our guides, Juan Antonio and Krishna made the whole experience come to life! Very professional, knowledgeable about their craft, the river and the natural beauty that surrounds it. On the walk down to the start point, Krish picked almonds, and figs for us, taught us about the trees, and the river's source. They were both great with the kids and kept everyone safe. They took lots of pictures and video of the group, which they can provide to you. You'll want those pictures! I can't recommend this adventure highly enough. Don't miss it! Some notes about the trip: 1. You will need to bring some over the ankle socks. The thicker the better in my opinion. They protect your ankles from the rocks if you slip. 2. Your guides meet you at the service station and then you follow them in your car about 10 min into the park. From there you collect your wetsuits, put on your shoes (I recommend renting their canyoning shoes for 8 or 9 Euro) and enjoy a 15 minute hike down to the river. 3. At the drop off point mentioned above someone fit in your group will follow one of your guides to stage your car at the end of the tour so it is there when you finish. They will hike about 15 minutes back uphill with the guide to the start to join your group.

Beautiful family memories - Excellent family time (11 years old and 15 years old). We had a very friendly and attentive Guide. Abseil down the impressive abyss. The photo reporting option is great. Thanks to Krishna.

Would recommend! - The information and directions for the canyoning and meeting place were very good. We were picked up by our guide of which we received a picture beforehand so we would know. During the tour we took many picture which we received very soon after the tour and our guide was very patient with us. He told us something’s about the place we were at and just was very kind. I would really recommend this tour for families and friends who would like an adventure, but haven’t done canyoning yet. It was challenging sometimes, but very doable. It’s a really fun experience!

Refreshing experience with kids! - The canyon is wonderful. Hided, natural and wild….. and the water is quite refreshing 😀, but the wetsuites help. It is absolutely possible to go there with 9-10 year old kids. The guide (José Carlos) could explain everything in proper English and all the security stuff (ropes, etc. ) for the rappeling and the explanations at the jumps Carlos masters perfectely. He knows what he is doing there. We felt pretty safe with him. Absolutely reconmended and worth repeating. Patrick from Frankfurt
