A still wild canyon, perfect for those seeking authentic emotions
The Rio Lerca stands out for its alternation between open stretches and spectacular sunken gorges. From the first waterfalls you have the option of choosing between rope descents and spectacular dives into clear water pools, making the experience customizable based on your level of preparation and desire to test yourself.
The natural pools, carved out over time by the stream, are perfect for diving. In the final section, narrow rock walls and exciting passages lead to an old dam, the arrival point of the descent.
How does the experience take place?
After meeting the guide and distributing the technical equipment (wetsuit, helmet, harness), we start with a panoramic walk of about 35 minutes.
Once you reach the beginning of the river, a complete briefing is carried out on safety, progression techniques and descent methods. Then the fun begins with slides, jumps, toboggans and rope descents, immersed in the magic of the Rio Lerca canyon
.
Nature, adrenaline and relaxation: the perfect mix
Despite its proximity to the city, while descending the Rio Lerca you have the feeling of being in a remote place, similar to certain wild corners of Corsica. The waters are clear and temperate, the rock offers good grip, and in various points it is possible to exit the stream in complete safety.
The transparency of the water and the aesthetics of the canyon make it one of the most fascinating in Liguria. Also perfect as an adventure stop on an itinerant journey between sea and mountains.

Information on Risks and Hazards
Professional guides adopt all safety and prevention procedures required for canyoning activities, carefully assessing environmental, hydrological, and weather conditions before and during the excursion.
However, it is important to emphasize that zero risk cannot be completely eliminated in a natural, wild, and non-anthropized environment such as the Rio Lerca.
For this reason, it is essential to:
-
Always follow the guide’s instructions
-
Maintain responsible and cooperative behavior
-
Inform the organization and the guide in advance of any health issues, allergies, or special conditions
The guide reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cancel the activity at any time if safety standards cannot be adequately guaranteed.

To participate in the activity, the following is required:
✅ Good overall health
✅ Ability to swim or, alternatively, no fear of water while using a life jacket (to be requested at the time of booking)
✅ Absence of heart, respiratory, or allergic conditions incompatible with physical effort and the canyoning environment
If you have allergies or medical conditions that could affect your participation, it is mandatory to consult our guides before booking.
⚠️ The activity takes place in a remote natural environment, which by its nature is not free from risks. Informing the guide of any physical issues or special conditions is essential for the safety of both the individual and the group.
