Canyoning is an outdoor adventure activity that involves traveling through canyons using a variety of techniques such as walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling (rappelling), and swimming. Canyons are natural gorges or ravines carved by rivers over time, and canyoning allows participants to explore these unique landscapes.
Participants, often equipped with special gear like helmets, wetsuits, harnesses, and rappelling devices, navigate down a canyon following the course of the water. The activity can include sliding down natural rock slides, jumping into pools of water, rappelling down waterfalls, and negotiating obstacles. Canyoning is an exhilarating and physically challenging adventure that combines elements of rock climbing, hiking, and swimming in a natural, rugged environment. It is popular in areas with suitable canyon formations and has become a popular recreational activity for those seeking a thrilling outdoor experience.
