Although all the valves feeding Bodengo were open, all three sections are still doable. The water level is definitely quite high. The first two sections go well, without too many significant hazards. In the third section, the flow increases a little further, but everything can still be descended cleanly. There are a few spots with strong water movements where the current pushes hard against the rock/wall, particularly at the 25 m slide. Despite the strong flow, the slide goes well. That said, these conditions require caution. You need to be experienced with strong water movements, have good water-reading skills and solid canyoning experience before entering the canyon at this level. A special thanks to Pascal Van Duin for his friendly experience sharing and his help in our canyon trip! Cheers mate!

Indeed, it’s a great, physical full-day outing. It took us about 2 hours to hike up and around 4.5 hours to descend the canyon, with a long succession of rappels. There are some really interesting geological features along the way, but overall the canyon is long and gets quite technical in places. You definitely shouldn’t enter this canyon if the water level isn’t suitable. It is absolutely not equipped to allow you to stay out of the main flow or bypass the active watercourse, so conditions really matter. That said, it’s a great canyon to tick off the list — a proper day out and a rewarding one to have under your belt.
