The Experience

Before You Go

Secure footwear

Choose sandals with straps or lightweight closed shoes that dry quickly to avoid losing shoes during rafting or mud on quad trails.

Protect electronics

Use a small dry bag or ziplock for phones and cameras—ziplines and river splashes are surprisingly unforgiving.

Hydration and timing

Start early if possible; mid‑day heat can make the quad section dusty and the zipline queues longer.

Follow guide briefings

Guides give specific launch angles and braking instructions on the zipline—adhere closely for safety and smoother runs.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk to the old Roman bridge near the canyon entrance for quieter river views
  • Short hike to a nearby lookout for panoramic shots of the canyon rim at sunset

Wildlife

  • Golden jackal
  • Common kestrel

Conservation Note

The canyon is sensitive to litter and off‑trail quad use; reputable operators follow leave‑no‑trace practices and keep vehicles on designated tracks to protect riparian vegetation.

The Köprülü/Köprüçay corridor has seen human use since Roman times; stone bridges and old irrigation works hint at the region’s long role as a travel and agricultural route.
