Description
Are you dreaming of a canyoning descent with long, beautiful abseils down a waterfall and a breathtaking view of Cilaos? Look no further, this is the place to be!
Fleurs Jaunes is one of the most beautiful canyons on Réunion Island! You will enjoy no fewer than 7 abseils - from 15 to 55 meters high - on your own, but under my supervision. I will also be offering you a few small jumps and slides, as well as an optional long slide for the more adventurous...
The 45-minute return walk is via the "Faut y croire" ridge and ends with a vertiginous via corda that you won't soon forget... a vertical must!
This descent of the Fleurs Jaunes canyon is accessible from the age of 14 to anyone capable of walking for an hour on a steep ascent without insurmountable vertigo.
The more sporty can opt for the full route of Fleurs Jaunes canyon at 110€, which includes a picnic by the edge of an exceptional little-known basin and two abseils, one of which is a 90-meter spider's thread one into the famous "chapelle" of Cilaos, a stunning entrance to this must-see hiking destination on Réunion Island. Afterwards, count on a 2-hour return walk on a beautiful GR trail!
If you're in the mood for other water adventures on Reunion Island, I would also recommend descending the nearby Bras Rouge canyon (also available in its full version), the magnificent Trou Blanc canyon in Salazie cirque or canyoning down the Langevin river in the south of the island.
