The Experience

Before You Go

Wear quick-dry footwear

River runs and buggy rides mean your shoes will get wet or dusty—closed-toe water shoes or trail shoes dry fast and protect toes.

Bring a small dry bag

Protect phone, wallet, and spare clothes from spray during rafting and dust on quads.

Sun protection matters

Bring sunscreen, a brimmed hat for downtime, and UV sunglasses—the canyon funnels sunlight in summer.

Stay hydrated and pace yourself

The full-day schedule and physical activities require steady hydration—carry at least 1–2 liters and refill at lunch.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Drive upriver to see lesser-visited Roman bridge ruins above the main rafting put-in
  • Short hike to a nearby viewpoint yields a panoramic canyon cross-section and fewer visitors

Wildlife

  • Bonelli’s eagle (occasionally overhead)
  • Mediterranean tortoise and riverine fish species

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon National Park is protected; stick to established trails and avoid leaving waste—river ecosystems are sensitive to sunscreen and plastic.

The canyon corridor has been a transit route since Roman times—bridges and masonry near the river attest to continuous human use for centuries.
