Come to discover this magnificent place which is the canyon of Vacca in the massif of Aiguilles de Bavella, on the east coast of Corsica, with the instructors of Corsica Canyon!

It is in the canyon of the Vacca that is born one of the most beautiful rivers of Corsica, the Solenzara, crossing the village of the same name at the edge of the coast. The Vacca is a canyon that offers a fantastic narrowing, in a cathedral-like setting surrounded by a multitude of needles. You will have the pleasure of descending a course composed of 2 long reaches between huge rock walls: a splendid natural setting of the Aiguilles de Bavella massif!

A series of jumps and swims, as well as a 16-metre-high abseil await you in the Vacca Canyon, a sporty canyon requiring good physical condition and a first experience of canyoning. You will spend a refreshing half-day rich in sensations in the heart of the Aiguilles de Bavella massif, near Zonza and Solenzara, but also Porto-Vecchio (1 hour and 15 minutes drive) and even Ajaccio (2 hours and 15 minutes drive)!

If you are looking for a canyoning experience that is worth the detour in Corsica, the Vacca canyon will meet your expectations!

Des paysages à couper le souffle, une expérience inoubliable. Que la montagne (corse) est belle ! le guide est super : on est totalement en confiance pour les sauts. L'activité nécessite deux choses : un bonne condition physique (on est lessivés après la descente mais la remontée est rude) et une paire de chaussures qui accrochent vraiment bien (mes chaussures de course à pied glissaient sur les rochers mouillés). Pour la remontée, il est utile de prévoir de la crème solaire et de quoi se protéger la tête. La Corse offre des paysages incroyables mais ceux-là m'ont particulièrement marqué.
