The Experience

Before You Go

Waterproof your essentials

Stow phones, documents and spare clothes in a dry bag—river spray and buggy dust are constant companions.

Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes

Hike, paddle and drive: choose footwear that drains, grips wet rocks, and protects toes on the buggy.

Sun and hydration plan

Bring broad-spectrum sunscreen, a hat and at least 2 liters of water—heat can spike quickly in summer.

Know the health limits

This activity is not recommended for pregnant guests or those with serious heart or spinal conditions—declare restrictions at booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small river-side groves and quiet swim pockets beyond main launch points for a private dip
  • A short detour to a nearby Ottoman/Roman bridge ruins that most group itineraries skim past

Wildlife

  • Bonelli's eagle
  • Wild boar

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon is protected to conserve river habitats and endemic plants—stick to guided routes, pack out waste, and avoid disturbing breeding birds or riverbanks.

The Köprülü Valley has seen Roman and Seljuk crossings; stone bridges and scattered ruins mark centuries of trade and seasonal movement through the canyon.
