Exemple of an activities in marbella
The canyoning adventure took place in the valley of the Rio Guadalmina, near the picturesque village of Benahavis. About half way up to Benahavis there are some beautiful natural pools and this was our starting point. We were promptly instructed to jump in to the pools fully clothed with wetsuits and shoes, is a good idea!. The activities marbella is FUN.
Next we began by scaling a large rock face after emerging from the pools. We all wore harnesses and helmet, while the instuctor prepared the equipment for our rappel at the other side of the rock.
This adventure was making some of us decidedly nervous. But our guide explained the procedure calmly and simply, which gave us more confidence. The idea is to allow the rope to pass through your hands to lower yourself down.
With your body at right angles to the wall walking backwards towards the ground. It is easy to pick up and we all managed to get down in one piece, some clamouring for more!.
The canyon becomes more and more picturesque as you get further towards the sea. We were amazed to see a barrel wedged high up in the canyon wall, deposited there by torrential river after heavy winter rain.
In places, we had to wade and swim through the clear refreshing water. Whilst marvelling at the natural beauty of this area, only minutes from the hustle and bustle of the coast.
The natural flora and fauna is stunning. The canyon is home to water snakes, turtles, fish and frogs along with a myriad of different plants and aquatic greenery. The end of our journey saw us swinging over a small dam commando style, down a slide rope and splashing into the water below, a lot of fun.
