 Canyoning
(Abseiling at Waterfall)
Canyoning (also
known as canyoneering) is one of the most modern
adventure sports that allow us to discover the wonders and mystery of
uncontaminated nature. Walking, jumping, swimming you will discover fantastic
canyons and face the challenges of incredible gorges. During this unique journey
of unforgettable experiences you will be accompanied by Canyoning professionals
and expert guides.
For
those who have a fear of heights or have difficulty abseiling
down on their own, our professional abseilers will abseil down
along side them and assist them.
What do you
need?
We supply all the equipment including shoes (trekking boots are preferred since
they will get wet), Change of clothes, and don't forget to bring a sense of adventure / fun / humor / enthusiasm and a flexible
attitude!
Who can
participate?
Almost everyone, from 6 years of age and older.
Caving
In 1985, Steve Knutson
(editor of American Caving Accidents) made the following distinction
| |
"...Note that I
( Steve Knutson )
use
the term 'spelunker' to denote someone untrained and unknowledgeable in
current exploration techniques, and 'caver' for those who are.
What is
Caving Anyway?
Caving
or spelunking as non-cavers call it, is many
things. The reasons why people go include adventure, sport,
scientific study, companionship, fun, and other things as varied
as the individual cavers. It is one of the few sports in which
you can go places no one has ever been before.
The
most commonly asked question is probably "What
do you find down there?" The answers are as varied
as the caves themselves: mud; beautiful rock formations and
rubble; water and dust; vast rooms and tight crawlways; awesome
rivers and puddles; strange and fragile animals; deep pits and
waterfalls; cold and warm water; and, of course, strange people.
One finds, eventually, whatever one is looking for.
What do you
need?
We supply all the equipment except shoes (trekking boots are preferred since
they will get wet), Change of clothes, and don't forget to bring a sense of adventure / fun / humor / enthusiasm and a flexible
attitude!
Who can
participate?
Almost everyone, from 6 years of age and older.
