Through the activity of canyoning s becoming a unique and unforgettable experience. It is a sports modality in direct contact with nature that combines elements and techniques of caving and mountaineering , so it must be carried out with the material and adequate equipment .

Andalusia has numerous places of great beauty where you can develop this activity and in which, depending on the orography of the terrain , you will cross from rocks to gorges, passing through impressive waterfalls, natural slides and narrow verticals that may require the use of different techniques such as rappelling or jumping into pools of water from different heights.

Depending on the characteristics of the descent, canyoning can have different levels of difficulty, the most affordable being the one in which no climbing or abseiling is performed and the water areas are also scarce. The appearance of rappels and climbs with jumps over the water at different heights increases the level of difficulty.
