The tour can have a variable duration:
The 2-hour excursion: allows you to reach the first level of the ravine, without reaching the bottom, and is available all year round.
The 3-hour excursion: the additional hour allows you to reach the bottom of the ravine, in some places you will use a transport (safari jeep) and is only available in the summer, when the water does not flow on the bottom of the ravine .
