Trou de Fer, Canyon in Salazie, La Réunion, France
The Trou de Fer canyon extends over 3700 meters with six waterfalls flowing into a deep gorge reaching depths of 300 meters.
A team led by Pascale Lapoule, Laurent Broisin, and Pascal Colas completed the first exploration of the canyon from September 19 to 21, 1989.
Adventurers from multiple countries gather at Trou de Fer to practice canyoning, making it an international destination for extreme sports enthusiasts.
The canyon requires specialized equipment including 100-meter ropes and proper safety gear, with a complete descent taking approximately 11 hours.
The canyon features a formation called The Corridor, a 3-kilometer slot canyon where water from numerous springs creates continuous cascades along porous volcanic walls.
