Korouoma Canyon and Auttiköngäs Waterfalls Adventure

On this tour you will visit two great nature location situated around 1,5 hours from Rovaniemi.

Tour offers fantastic setting for nature and landscape photography, and you will get to witness some of the best viewpoints of two unique locations that are part of a canyons formed millions of years ago.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

Your professional photographer-guide will share photography tips and
tricks to capture great pictures of these unique places. We start the
tour by travelling one and a half hours to reach Korouoma canyon.

At
Korouoma we will hike around three kilometres through the atmospheric
Nordic Forest. We reach the viewpoint on top of the canyon to witness
the majestic landscapes surrounded by cliffs over 100 metres high. The
viewpoint is a fantastic spot for landscape photography and will work as
an epic background for anyone wishing to have their portraits taken.

After
visiting the viewpoint of Korouoma canyon it is time for next location:
old-growth forests and the waterfall of Auttiköngäs. It will take us
roughly twenty minutes to reach the location. There, we can hike a bit
to reach a view tower at the highest point of the area with incredible views in all directions. From the tower you will see centuries old, protected forests and impressive sceneries
over the wilderness area.

Another gem of the area is a natural
waterfall, Auttiköngäs Falls. The Auttijoki River was used to transfer logs in
old days, and the structures built on waterfall allowed the wood to
slide down to the canyon. Today, this structure is preserved as a
historical sighting. While enjoying the waterfall views, your guide will
also prepare some light lunch cooked on open fire.

GOOD TO KNOW
If we get lucky, we might come across animals like the magnificent Eagle Owl and Capercaillie which is a huge woodland grouse. Keeping an eye of the sky might offer the ultimate reward in the form of Golden Eagle gliding through the air. The Lynx’s have been observed in the area and the river running at the bottom of the canyon offers a nice habitat for the Otters as well. So, equipping with the longer lenses for this adventure might be a good idea.
