Canyoning (known in the U.S. as canyoneering) is a sport popular in several countries. It involves travelling down creeks or streams within a canyon by a variety of means including walking, scrambling, climbing, abseiling, swimming and "li-loing" (using an inflatable air mattress). It requires skills in navigation, ropework, climbing, avoiding hypothermia etc.
Typically what separates a canyon from any ordinary stream is the narrow passage created by erosion into bedrock, creating beautiful sculptured walls and spectacular waterfalls.
Canyoning can be treacherous. There are risks associated with scrambling down uneven, slippery surfaces and abseiling in wet, cold conditions. Several fatalities have occurred in this sport as a result of flash flooding. the most infamous of which happened when a group of tourists on a commercial canyoning adventure trip were drowned in Switzerland in 1999.
Week-end canyoning in Spain One weekend of canyoning in Sierra of Guara is the perfect option if you need changes with the rhythm of a week of work. Nothing is better than 2 days of active relaxations in the canyons to be on form and enjoy a back-to-nature experience.
