Experience the thrill of flying over the breathtaking Glerá Canyon – with its dramatic cliffs, lush green slopes, and rushing glacial waters – crossing the river five times on different ziplines!
The river Glerá (meaning Glass River) carries tiny pieces of obsidian, a black volcanic stone that sparkles in the water. The first settlers had never seen such stones before and may therefore have given the river its name.
