The Experience

Before You Go

Bring water shoes

Riverbed rocks and straps make water shoes more comfortable and safer than sandals; rentals are sometimes available on-site.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Start with a good drink at pickup and sip regularly—combining exertion and sun can be deceptively draining.

Arrive ready for a 6‑hour day

Pickup windows are early; plan to be at the meeting point on time to avoid missing transfers and safety briefings.

Listen to guides for canyoning choices

Canyoning is optional and may include short rappels and swims—follow instructions and ask about alternative routes if unsure.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Quiet riverbank picnic clearings above the main rapids for a private swim
  • The ancient Roman bridge crossing the Köprüçay—an evocative spot for photos away from crowds

Wildlife

  • European bee-eater (colorful cliff-side visitor)
  • Small mammals like foxes and occasional mountain goats on higher slopes

Conservation Note

Koprülu Canyon is managed to protect riparian habitats and erosion; stay on designated paths, pack out waste and avoid disturbing nesting birds.

The Köprüçay has shaped human routes for centuries—Roman masonry and old caravan tracks sit just above the river’s course, evidence of long-term local use.
