Canyoning in Marbella

Natural pools, rock jumps and an easy rappel on the Guadalmina river, a short drive from Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara — our most accessible canyoning adventure.

Why canyoning near Marbella

Most of Marbella's outdoor adventure lives just inland, in Benahavís and along the Guadalmina river valley. The Guadalmina canyon runs through a narrow, green ravine with a series of natural pools and optional jumps up to 5 metres, finishing with one easy rappel — ideal if this is your first time in a harness.

Every route is led by a certified local guide with full technical gear included. Routes are available for beginners and experienced adventurers, and for guests who want more of a challenge, the wilder canyons of Sierra Bermeja and the Genal Valley are within reach of the same base.
