Everything you need to know about canyoning

Canyoning, or canyoneering, is an exploratory practice of river environments. It consists of walking on foot along the winding course of streams flowing between canyons and rocky gorges. A canyoning trail has characteristic elements, including toboggans, natural slides created by the erosion of water on rock. Also typical of canyoning are diving into pools of water and rappelling down waterfalls and rock walls. Each canyoning experience includes the support of an experienced and certified guide who will be able to help participants at all times, ensuring total safety.
