Basic swimming ability is recommended; guides keep life jackets on and offer assisted crossings, but inform them in advance if you’re not comfortable in deep pools.

The gorge is cut through Cretaceous limestone; local settlements have used these freshwater pools for generations, and the site became a popular local attraction before tourism formalized guided canyoning.
