The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a small dry bag

Keep phone, documents and any medications in a watertight pouch during rafting and buggy sections.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Trainers or river shoes protect feet during raft entry/exit and on rocky jeep stops.

Sun protection matters

Sunscreen and a hat are important—exposed buggy and zipline sections offer little shade.

Declare medical conditions

Tell guides about any heart, back problems, or pregnancy; some elements are not recommended.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Check the small Roman bridges along quieter canyon trails for photo opportunities
  • Ask guides about a quiet riverside lunch spot with views back up the gorge

Wildlife

  • Griffon vulture (occasional soaring above the canyon)
  • Mediterranean tortoise and local passerine birds in riverine scrub

Conservation Note

The national park protects riparian habitat and karst systems; stick to marked paths, avoid littering and follow guides' instructions to minimize erosion and disturbance.

The Köprülü Canyon area contains Roman and Byzantine-era bridges and was an important corridor between inland Taurus settlements and the Mediterranean coast.
