Descend a near-vertical 95 m waterfall, then learn small‑farm coffee processing on a half‑day trip from Santa Teresa. This active combo pairs short, technical rappels with a hands‑on coffee workshop in the Sacred Valley foothills.
Descend a near-vertical 95 m waterfall, then learn small‑farm coffee processing on a half‑day trip from Santa Teresa. This active combo pairs short, technical rappels with a hands‑on coffee workshop in the Sacred Valley foothills.
You step out of the van at 1,600 m and the canyon spits a clean, cold breath at you — limestone walls cut sharp, a ribbon of spray spilling from a 95 m vertical fall that dares you to move. After a short gear-up and safety briefing, the descent begins: five minutes of controlled exposure, an 85° slick wall, and two consecutive rappels that push adrenaline into focused, calm movement.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step out of the van at 1,600 m and the canyon spits a clean, cold breath at you — limestone walls cut sharp, a ribbon of spray spilling from a 95 m vertical fall that dares you to move. After a short gear-up and safety briefing, the descent begins: five minutes of controlled exposure, an 85° slick wall, and two consecutive rappels that push adrenaline into focused, calm movement.
This route runs through the eastern margins of the Sacred Valley, where glacially carved valleys meet Andean foothills. Geology here is raw — fractured volcanic and sedimentary rock channeling tributary streams into dramatic drops. Culturally, you’re close to Santa Teresa, an agricultural corridor that transitioned from subsistence farms to specialty coffee producers over the last decades; the coffee portion of the outing traces that change, from selective harvesting to small-scale drying and roasting.
Practically, plan for a compact but active half-day: expect a 5-hour total schedule (drive time included), short hikes on uneven terrain, and roughly 95 m of vertical descent in two stages plus a 15 m waterfall finale. Wear ankle-support boots with good tread, bring a light daypack, and a waterproof layer for spray. Hydrate before and after rappels; follow guides’ weight and health limits — the operator requires moderate fitness and excludes those with serious heart, back, or pregnancy concerns.
The day ends with a hands-on 3-hour coffee workshop — picking, washing, drying and tasting — then a return drive to Santa Teresa. It’s a compact loop that pairs technical canyoning with grounded cultural exchange.
The main vertical section is about 95 m with two consecutive rappels (roughly a 5‑minute active descent); there’s a final 15 m waterfall to finish.
No prior certificate is required, but comfort with heights and basic instruction following are expected; guides lead every rappel.
A three‑hour hands‑on tour covering harvesting, washing, drying, roasting and tasting of 100% organic coffee, with opportunities to purchase beans.
Bookings ask for height, weight and DOB; participants with heart conditions, serious back issues or pregnancy are not recommended to join.
