La Angostura Canyon

On the day of the activity, we’ll meet at the entrance to Cañadón La Angostura, in the countryside between Gaiman and Dolavon. After a brief introduction to the route, we’ll set off on a hike through one of the most unique landscapes in the Chubut River valley.

Before setting off, we’ll do a warm-up with some mobility exercises. Once ready, we’ll set off on a walk of around 2 km (1.24 mi) amongst sedimentary rock formations. We’ll make our way through hills and ridges that were once associated with springs. Along the trek, we’ll see how the terrain alternates between slopes, uneven surfaces and narrow passages.

The highlight of the trip will be reaching Cañadón La Angostura, a 216-m (709 ft) long natural gorge whose walls rise to a height of 15 m (49.2 ft). We’ll walk through this rocky passageway, observing its textures, strata and whimsical shapes.

In some places, the canyon narrows so much that we’ll have to proceed with care, using our hands to help us climb over small, uneven sections. We won’t be doing any technical climbing, but we will encounter three sections of intermediate difficulty. Don’t worry, though; there’ll be a ladder at the most challenging one. Adventure at its very best!

After 1.5 hours of walking, we’ll finish this experience back at the meeting point.

Activity Requirements

Please bear in mind that this hiking route is for advanced walkers. It requires a good level of fitness, mobility, flexibility, and strength in the legs and arms. Within the gorge, there are three sections of varying difficulty where you will need to use your arms to help you move forward.
