By car to the starting point without any problems. There is still some running water and pools. Watertemperature is pleasant. One of us even did it in shorts, the rest only in lower part neoprene. After the last waterfall we just walked further in the river, about 25 minutes to the end.

All good. Lovely canyon. The first picture shows the water level at the exit, which you can check with a 10 min walk.

Lots of water. No real problem anywhere but we took the c70 rive gauche (orographic left) and that was very tough (there is also an anchor point rive droite (orogr right), hors crue (out of the flow)). Unfortunately our rope got stuck at the end when recovering (about 50m. The lower meters we could cut off). If you find it again in the coming days (we will stay about another week in Corsica) it would be nice to recover and give me a message at haegemanjo (at) gmail.com . Furthermore there are some anchor points more difficult to reach (2x extra security with rope) and also 1x a tree used in the lower part.

Very beautiful canyon. Deep and impressive. Beautiful rappels. Even though some rappels are in the flow, they remain easy to do. Clear water, not very cold. Sunny, so quite warm. A number of unconnected (chemical) anchor points. The return path is easy to find and follow.

the approach was pretty clear. if you follow the cairns and keep left at the big wall, then it is an hour. if you follow right at the big wall then you will see cut down trees and you will arrive at the climbing massif. The canyon itself is pretty nice, with easy rappels and a nice view of the valley of the Golo. The fraction of the 70m is at about 38m (not at 35m so definitely take a sufficiently long rope). Most anchor points in good condition, here and there a rusty one. If you like a gps route for the approach: https://www.komoot.nl/tour/2228120452?ref=aso

How hard can it be to link to a GPS track that clearly shows the approach to a lesser-visited canyon? Instead of making descriptions like "walk through trees to more trees and then to taller trees," just create a track on a GPS app. It would have saved us a lot of scratches and time here, for example. Also, 3 different sources list 3 different starting points. All wrong. The correct one (starting at the top of c6-c12) is at 42.51492, 9.33730, and 292 m elevation. The rest of the canyon is not much to look at. Easy rappels, calm, cold, clear water. By the way: here is a link to an approach track. ignore all the things that went wrong...: https://www.gaiagps.com/datasummary/track/1809d98b-052a-4db6-ac94-6ef925dcaf2c/

'Museum of anchorpoints'. Good instruction canyon for beginners.
13.04.2025 Falavel Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
Ideal canyon for teaching beginner canyoneers. Many different anchors. All existing fixed lines need replacement. Start just beyond the fence 'private property'
12.04.2025 Riou de la Bollène Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
Nice canyon but slippery. 3.5 hours with 4 people.
11.04.2025 Vallon de l'Imberguet Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
Nice canyon with some narrow sections. Fun jumps and slides. Cold water. No sun in the canyon. Descent 2 hours with 5 people.
11.04.2025 Imberguet (Amont) Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
Open woodsy canyon. Some shorter rappels and one 35m. All anchor points good condition but all not connected (except the 35m). Cold water.
10.04.2025 Vallon de la Peira Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
All good. Cold water. Enough sunny places to warm up.
11.06.2024 Ribeira do Passo Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
All good. The 55m rappel from the tree: there is a first branch with a single anchorpoint. Don't use this. Use the one 3m further. It is more solid and the rope doesn't 'slide' over the branch
10.06.2024 Ribeiro da Camisa Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
Well equipped. Also some extra anchors to fraction the two 23m rappels should you need them.
06.06.2024 Algares Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
Nice green jungle canyon. Had to search a bit for the correct entrypoint. Missed the 3rd anchorpoint at the big cascade. Just managed it with the ropelengths. From 2nd anchor to floor was about 75m. Lovely abseils in a wonderful environment. Got lucky finding the exit and stumbling on the dirt road.
05.06.2024 Ilheus (inferior) Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
Narrow canyon with beautfiful rock formations. All bolts in good shape. We abseiled down to the sea and then climbed back up. We took a wrong path as exit (20 m before the second to last rappel) and clambered through the bush for 15 minutes, but hit the trail eventually.
05.06.2024 Ilheus (intermedio) Jo Haegeman ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
Nice canyon. Well equipped. Even the rappel guidé (guided rappel) was already installed, which we happily used. Make sure you have about 100m rope to do this. We continued on to the inferior.

3.5 hours with 3 persons. Some anchorpoints were loose so we tightened them. Nice waterflow at the 120m. Rappelling just next to the water. Swam across the lake, what a view! All the falls were pouring water down. Amazing sight!

Very very VERY slippery canyon. I think this was the most slippery canyon I've ever been in. It was so slippery that I thought of bringing my crampons next time. For the rest nice, short canyon, no problem anywhere. Taking a dip in the ocean was a nice ending. Did I mention it was slippery already?
