Canyoning: what it is and how to practice it
Canyoning, or canyoneering, involves walking the course of a stream that flows through gorges carved into the rock. The characteristic elements of a canyoning route are the dips, toboggans (natural slides) and rope rappels down rock walls. Canyoning is often defined as a mix of water sports and mountaineering. In fact, the participant walks, climbs, jumps from one point to another, and sometimes even swims stretches. Canyoning requires the assistance of a mountain guide who provides the necessary equipment and helps participants when needed.
