Takamaka, Réunion

The Takamaka canyon extends over 3000 meters with a vertical drop of 480 meters and includes a sequence of waterfalls through tropical forest terrain.

Three mountaineers first explored and established routes through Takamaka canyon during a three-day expedition from November 23 to 25, 1990.

The canyon represents a major destination for experienced canyoning practitioners who travel from various countries to navigate its technical descents and water passages.

The complete canyon descent requires 12 hours, including a 70-meter initial rappel, multiple water slides, and a 2.5-hour return hike through forest terrain.

The canyon route passes through sections of primary tropical forest that remain inaccessible except to canyoning participants, flowing directly into a reservoir lake.
