WHAT IS CANYONING?
Canyoning (known in Italian as torrentismo) is an adventure sport that involves traveling along the bed of narrow rocky gorges (canyons) carved by water, following the course without the use of floating devices like canoes or rafts.
Unlike rafting or canoeing, canyoning is done on foot and with the help of ropes, combining swimming, climbing, rope descents, jumps, and natural slides.

-
Waterfalls to descend using ropes
