What to Expect: The Long Somoto Canyon Tour

The Long Tour utilizes the full geographical extent of the Somoto Canyon, demanding greater physical endurance than the short route.

• Extended Trekking Phase: The expedition begins with a longer trek—often along the riverbed or down a difficult path—before reaching the main water entrance. This longer walk is the primary difference from the short tour and constitutes the "más caminata."

• Full Canyoning: Once in the water, the experience combines walking on slippery rocks, swimming through pools, and floating on your life jacket through the gorge's highest walls.

• Advanced Exploration: The route accesses areas typically inaccessible to the short tour, offering unique vantage points and geological features. Higher cliff jumping opportunities may be available, strictly dependent on water levels and guide assessment.

• Duration and Stamina: The extended 5–6 hour duration requires travelers to maintain high energy levels and hydration.
