Description
The Bras Rouge canyon offers a beautiful and varied introductory course: here, you can do everything! Abseiling, jumps, slides, swimming, hiking... all in an exceptional setting with a breathtaking view of the Taïbit pass and the famous 3 Salazes... Not to be missed!
After an approach walk of around 45 minutes, we enter the canyon via a dizzying via corda, followed by 2 abseils of around 20 meters. You will then follow a series of jump zones (5 to 7 meters high), abseils under waterfalls and slides, all without a break until you reach the canyon exit, just one minute from the parking lot.
This descent of the Bras Rouge 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 athletic and experienced can opt for the full route of Bras Rouge canyon (additional cost: 30€), which continues for 3 hours with a series of more technical abseils, and a few technical jumps for the more adventurous. The tour ends with an exceptional slide that can be done at will, followed by a steep 30-minute climb back to the cars.
If you are in the mood for other water adventures on Reunion Island, I would also recommend descending the nearby Fleurs Jaunes canyon (also available in its full version), the magnificent Trou Blanc canyon at Hell-Bourg in the Salazie cirque, or an introduction to canyoning in the Langevin river.
