The Experience

Before You Go

Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes

Jeep tracks and short canyon approaches are rocky and uneven—trail runners or hiking shoes reduce slips.

Hydrate and pack snacks

A full-day tour with moderate exertion means bring at least 1–2 liters of water and energy snacks.

Sun protection is crucial

Exposed canyon rims and open jeep time mean sunglasses, hat, and SPF will keep you comfortable.

Follow the zipline briefing exactly

Harness fit and braking instructions are non-negotiable—listen closely to guides for safety and best line technique.

Local Knowledge

Conservation Note

Stick to marked approaches, pack out all waste, and avoid disturbing riparian vegetation; small-group, guided tours help concentrate impact and support local stewardship.
