Select participants and date
The wooden planks creak underfoot as the canyon narrows and sunlight slashes down between limestone walls. Water hammers through a channel below—clear, brisk, and impatient—cutting steps into stone and fanning mist across your face. On the Sapadere Canyon Tour you move through that sound and spray: a three-hour loop along elevated boardwalks, small waterfalls pooling beneath your shoes, and a final view that unfolds like a reveal—cascades spilling into a green, fern-edged basin.
