Vikos Gorge: How I hiked the world's deepest canyon

Watch my hike in the world's "deepest relative to its width" gorge, as written in the Guinness Book of Records!

Best time to visit is spring. However, in the summer you can be (almost!) sure it will not rain. Crossing the world's deepest gorge is the experience of a lifetime.

The Vikos Gorge, with a length of 32 km (20 mi), walls that range from 120-1,350 m (390-4,400 ft) deep, and a width ranging from 2,500 m (8,202 ft) to just a few meters at its narrowest part, is listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the deepest canyon in the world in proportion to its width. The main part of the gorge stretches from the village of Vikos to Monodendri, and attains a depth of about 1,350 m (4,429 ft).
The landscape of the 32 km long gorge, 12 km of which belongs to the park's core zone, presents a diverse relief and is characterized by abrupt altitudinal changes. Steep slopes and precipitous rocky cliffs dominate in the middle and higher zones respectively. Numerous gullies dissect both sides of the gorge and the movement of water detaching various rocky materials creates extended screes. The gorge, with a northwest-southeast direction, has been carved over millions of years by the Vikos Stream and its continuation, the Voidomatis River, a tributary of the Aoös (Vjosa).
A significant number of herbs of the Vikos Gorge and adjacent areas within the Vikos-Aoos National park were regarded to have medicinal properties and were once harvested by local healers, colloquially referred to as "Vikos doctors" (Greek: Βικογιατροί, "Vikoiatri").
