Best Season for Canyon Rafting
The canyon rafting season runs from April to the end of October. The Koprucay River is fed by cool mountain springs from the Taurus Mountains, so it stays refreshing even in mid-summer. Spring brings higher water flow and more exciting rapids, while summer and autumn offer calmer, family-friendly conditions.
