Hydrate before you go
Drink water before the transfer—rappels and cold water stress the system; guides may not allow long breaks mid-route.
Wear secure footwear
Use snug sneakers or canyoning shoes (provided) with good grip; loose footwear makes ropework and wet rock hazardous.
Time for morning light
Book morning departures for calmer flows and better visibility on each rappel; afternoon storms can increase river volume.
Disclose medical conditions
Inform the operator of heart, spinal, or pregnancy concerns at booking—they will refuse participation for safety reasons.
Neoprene suit (provided)
Thermal protection for cold cascades and prolonged exposure to spray.
Helmet (provided)
Protects against impacts from rock and falling debris during rappels.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes / sneakers (provided)
Secure grip on wet rock and stability on ropes and uneven terrain.
Quick-dry clothes & towel
For the post-activity change and to stay comfortable during the return transfer.
