My First Time Canyoning
If it’s your first time, start with a low difficulty level and gradually increase as you gain experience in the sport. You won’t want to stop! The sensation of being between two rock walls in a very deep canyon will make you feel like a true explorer. Familiarize yourself with the different challenges that make up the activity to know which ones are easiest for you and be aware of those you’ll need to work on more. Begin by walking, swimming, or jumping short distances.
As we’re sure you’ll love it and be left wanting more, once you understand the activity, your capabilities, and limits, you can start increasing the difficulty level. You’ll begin rappelling or jumping greater distances. Don’t worry! Cangas Aventura’s expert guides will help you at all times and suggest an activity always suited to your level.
