Infos & BookingDescription
Are you dreaming of a canyoning descent with long, beautiful abseils down a waterfall and a breathtaking view of the Cirque de Cilaos? Look no further, this is the place to be!
Fleurs Jaunes full canyon is one of the most beautiful canyons on Reunion Island! You will first enjoy the 7 abseils, ranging in height from 15 to 55 meters, of the classic course - done in autonomy but under my supervision - which also features a few small jumps and natural slides, as well as an optional long slide for the more adventurous... This first section corresponds to the classic Fleurs Jaunes canyon.
We will then walk for about 30 minutes along the bottom of the canyon, which is dry on this section, to arrive at the edge of a beautiful, little-known pool where we will have our picnic lunch. You can also jump and slide to your heart's content before resuming our descent.
It is a gentle start with a 30-meter abseil that leads to the vertiginous 90-meter spider-wire abseil that you won't soon forget... This will take you to the heart of the mythical "Chapelle" of Cilaos. This is the perfect way to make a great entrance to this must-see hiking destination on Réunion Island. Afterwards, it is a 2-hour walk back on a beautiful path back to the parking lot!
This descent of the Fleurs Jaunes canyon is accessible from the age of 14 to anyone capable of walking for two hours on a steep ascent without insurmountable vertigo.
So don't miss out on this unforgettable vertical adventure!
If you are in the mood for other long, magnificent runs on Réunion Island, I would also recommend the full descent of the nearby Bras Rouge canyon (also available in its classic version) or the magnificent Trou Blanc canyon in Hell-Bourg. And beginners can opt for the descent of the Langevin river.
