Manavgat Köprülü Canyon Adventure

Köprülü Canyon is the valley where Köprüçay flows from Isparta and empties into the sea from Antalya. There are two bridges in the canyon, where rafting is popular. Of these two historical bridges, the smaller one is the work of the master’s apprentice, while the larger and arched one is the work of the master’s apprentice. These bridges, located at the beginning of the rafting area, gave the canyon its name.

 

 

History of Manavgat Köprülü Canyon

Activities to Do in Köprülü Canyon National Park

 

Rafting is at the top of the activities to be done in Köprülü Canyon. Köprüçay, which allows people of all ages, from children to adults, to do this sport, is one of the rare rivers with this feature. Since the depth of the water flowing in the canyon increases at some points, it becomes difficult to pass through these areas on foot. However, the water level decreases in the summer months. The variable structure of the river provides ideal conditions for rafting. The rafting adventure on the 14 km long track takes approximately 2.5 hours. The peak periods for rafting are June, July, August and September. Other activities that can be done in Köprülü Canyon include Canyoning, River yoga, bicycle tour and mountain biking, rafting, climbing, jeep safari, paintball and trekking. In addition, Manavgat Waterfall and Selde Ancient City, which are close to the canyon, are also places to visit.
