Kaumira Canyon
I really like this route. Kaumira Canyon is not a traditional, true slot canyon, but is more defined as a narrow gorge and remarkably resembles the routes you will find in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California. It flows strong as you join its waters, rushing its way through a beautiful and exciting gorge featuring 4-5 abseils depending on your jumping confidence. The best of which is the very first one, which is a 25 meter two stage drop that threads you like a needle through a fantastic arch. Located far outside of the town of Timaru, in the rolling hills and past the sheep and farms, this canyon is a hidden gem well worthy of the rather long drive to get to it.
