Canyoning in Antankallo

Antankallo is not only one of the main tourist attractions in Lima, but also an ideal site for canyoning, an adventure sport that consists of traversing a canyon, ascending and descending through the riverbed. In this outdoor activity, natural obstacles such as rocks, tree branches, waterfalls, and other challenges are encountered.

Route

This route is a great adventure, walking along the riverbed, with continuous rope descents. Each rappel is higher than the previous one until reaching the main waterfall, which has a drop of over 45 meters with crystal-clear and icy water that truly awakens us.

Level

For this adventure, an intermediate level in this sport is required, especially for the descents.

Distance

In this journey, a total of 5 descents of 12, 10, 18, 10, and 55 meters are made.

Season

The best time of the year to practice this sport is between the months of April and November when the area has a warm climate during the day. However, if you want to experience this adventure at its highest difficulty, we recommend doing it between the months of December and March, a season with intense rainfall.
