Zion National Park reveals more than 25 km of canyons. These are narrow gorges, naturally carved into the earth by erosion.
Trekking in this area reveals fabulous landscapes — a way of reconnecting with nature. Hikers carve their way through sandstone walls rising more than 1,000 metres high and sometimes just 6 metres wide.
60% of the walk takes place in waterways, offering magnificent views of the sandstone walls. However, before confirming the trek, it is essential to check the season in which you plan to do the hiking. Outside the dry season — particularly during a flood — several sections along this route are virtually impassable.
Kilimanjaro and Tanzania
Kilimanjaro is a paradise for hikers, thanks to its magnificent landscapes and excellent weather conditions. There are 6 regulated trails: the Machame, the Marangu, the Rongai, the Lemosho, the Umbwe and the Shira. Each one leads hikers to their destination through varying levels of difficulty. It goes without saying that trekkers will come away far more experienced from this journey.
This destination offers fabulous adventures, all the more so as hikers pass through five different climate zones. The trek begins in the African jungle of Tanzania and ends at the highest point of Kilimanjaro, where the temperature can drop to -7.1°C at the Kibo summit.
