WHAT IS CANYONING?
Canyoning is the descent of streams, more or less recessed, with or without water, wearing a wetsuit, sneakers with sculpted soles (not smooth), helmet and harness, using various progression techniques such as walking, jumping, the slide the descent on or by rope and the climbing.
Knowledge of rappelling techniques is not required.
Each creek is unique and with its own water regime, so we can almost never generalize. Each route has its own specific seasonality in relation to the meteorology.
We are in a completely natural environment, inhospitable by nature, sculpted by water over millions of years. An environment that needs respect, given that we are in any case guests and our main objective is to maintain and protect it in its extraordinary beauty.
Incredible pools of crystalline water, spectacular waterfalls, breathtaking bottlenecks are the main characteristics that we find in these types of environments, which find their uniqueness among limestone rocks or pudding stone.
