Nachal Rachaf

A beautiful canyon in the southern Judean Desert, Nachal Rachaf is one of the deepest and narrowest canyons in the country. On the way into the canyon we will see magnificent views of the Dead Sea, Jordan, and the Judean desert.

Once we enter the canyon, we will go through narrow passages, climb down ladders, and encounter pools that we will need to swim across. There are two very high waterfalls, and the only way to pass them is to rappel off the towering rock ledges into pools of water far below.

We will see many small animals, birds, and possibly even deer that come to drink from the water that fills the canyon after the rains. This canyon adventure is Fun Fun Fun!

All of the rappelling and swimming are mandatory. Depending on the time of year, there may be no swimming necessary and other times it is necessary to swim through up to seven pools.
