A corner of nature untouched by man.
Khashupse Canyon in Abkhazia is a natural landmark located in the valley of the Khashupse River. Fabulous landscapes and rocky massifs, colorful gorges and hanging vegetation, the purest river that fills the river… Beauty and relaxation!
We were in October, in the morning - there were no people, we took sap, laughed heartily, the best attraction in Abkhazia.
An incredibly beautiful place
You can walk to it from 2 sides
The new one is to go down from the top of the canyon complex. An organized option, they will take some money, the canyon will need to be passed against the current of the river
You can get there by your own transport. There is an extensive parking lot.
The second option. Take the road further into the mountains. Before the fork, follow the sign to turn left. After a fork of about 3 km along a new road through the forest. The old road along the river became inaccessible after a landslide in the spring of 2024
From above, most often, you will be taken with pleasure to the place on the UAZ and not only, because in 2 places you need to drive the river to the ford
The site at the junction of 2 rivers will provide you with hydro suits and waterproof phone cases. It is better not to belittle either one or the other, but of course you can do without
All the way to the canyon, you need to walk through a gorge somewhere knee-deep in water. It is better to choose shoes that are not afraid of immersion in cold water
The water in the river is mountainous and you will have to plunge into it up to your throat in the canyon, or even deeper. According to this, a hydro suit will be useful)
And then, the very beautiful nature of Abkhazia, which never ceases to amaze.
A very beautiful atmospheric place. But unfortunately it has become too hyped - a crowd of tourists and queues for photography is something. Spoils the whole impression.
You can book an excursion, or you can get to a certain place by car, and then walk through the forest for about 1.5 km at a leisurely pace and enjoy nature.
