Full description

Prepare yourself for an unparalleled adventure as you delve into the extraordinary realm of canyoning in Deos Gorge, located in the enchanting town of Metsovo. This awe-inspiring experience promises an unforgettable journey through a very challenging trail, lasting 5 hours, and is specifically designed for experienced canyoneers aged 15 and above. With our certified canyoning guides leading the way, your safety and guidance are assured throughout the entire expedition.

Situated just 30 minutes away from Ioannina, Deos Gorge derives its name from the awe-inspiring sensation it evokes. In Greek, “deos” means awe, and you will soon discover why. The river flows from September to June, with a significant surge in water volume during Easter, attributed to the snow melting in the majestic Lakmos mountain, also known as Peristeri.

To access the gorge, we embark on a short 15-minute hike. As we venture further, we encounter the first set of easy rappels in a relatively open space. As the journey progresses, the gorge becomes narrower and more formidable, captivating you with its breathtaking beauty.

This particular route boasts an array of waterfalls, each displaying unique beauty, with the most impressive being a staggering 30-meter waterfall. After descending this awe-inspiring natural wonder, you’ll find yourself rappelling down an 11-meter drop, leading you into a dimly lit chamber. Brace yourself for a truly unforgettable experience as you navigate a pitch-black environment and rappel down a remarkable 23-meter descent.

The route culminates on a street, which requires a 45-minute walk to reach the endpoint.
