Canyoning Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    Canyoning (or: canyoneering) is about going in a bottom of a canyon, which is either dry or full of water.

    Understand

    [edit]

    Canyoning combines elements from swimming, climbing and jumping--but requires relatively little training or physical shape to get started (compared to rock climbing, scuba diving or alpine skiing, for example).

    See also: Rock climbing.

    Techniques

    [edit]

    There are several kind of techniques in a canyon, which are also features of a specific canyon:

    • sifons (dive-under)
    • vertical rappeling (or abseiling)
    • horizontal abseiling: moving over a rope above a river from one side of canyon to another
    • jumps
    • slides (toboggan in Spanish)

    Plus trivial techniques which are used in virtually every canyon with water: walking, swimming, climbing to large stones.

    Other characteristics of a canyon are length, duration, altitude difference; time to get in to a canyon start and to get out from its finish.
