Rodokalos canyoning - Ypati, GREECE (2017)

Video from the last 45m. waterfall rappel.

Rodokalos gorge is situated in near Ypati, central Greece. As it was November the autumn colors were everywhere! Once again organized by Hellas Canyon. You can leave your cars here as here starts the path towards the gorge. This is the exit point as well.

 Its a nice 30-40 min. hike up to enter the gorge from its middle. To do the full longer canyon you need a longer hike.

 All the people participating on this activity had done some part of the canyoning academy and now we were going to make use of some of the technique we were taught.
 Mood was uplifting and festive. 



 Its a beautiful gorge which includes a 30m and a 45m waterfall to go down.


 Going down the 30m. waterfall, there was not much water flow at this period of the year.
